Objectives

The Department of English and Creative Writing offers a wide variety of courses devoted to the development of critical-thinking and analytical skills. The faculty, a dynamic group of scholars, creative writers and teachers, help students to develop effective, appropriate use of English language skills and encourage the understanding of practical and literary discourse, as well as the necessity of embracing the literary heritage of English-speaking and other people. In language and literature, English provides an essential education for all students. For students who have particular interests, the department offers a broader-than-average background in literature, writing, the English language and/or linguistics at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
