One of the premier programs in literary and rhetorical studies in the southwest, the Department of English offers both undergraduate and graduate degree programs.
With twenty-six outstanding full-time faculty, including three endowed positions, the department is dedicated to fostering excellence in all areas of teaching, research, and service.
As more people turn from the printed page to the computer screen, the study of English is more vital than ever. We teach students how to read and write effectively in a world of constant messages and messaging. At all levels students gain invaluable experience deciphering texts and producing their own.
We are dedicated to providing our students with such skills as knowing how to
- communicate clearly
- read and analyze documents carefully
- research issues and subjects
- formulate an opinion or argument
- understand the assumptions embedded in texts
- write persuasively
This website introduces our programs and people, but if you have questions, please contact us or stop by the English Office at Reed Hall 314.
