English

Through written and oral communication, students will exhibit their ability to critically examine literary texts, recognize important themes, literary devices, and historical settings, and develop nuanced interpretations.

Students will become proficient writers in both academic and professional settings. They will also learn how to conduct research, follow disciplinary norms and conventions, and create arguments that are clear, coherent, and convincing.

Students will learn the techniques for conducting effective literature searches, identifying, analyzing, and synthesizing academic sources, developing research questions, and producing creative research projects that advance the area of English studies.

By encouraging empathy, critical thinking, and global awareness, students will have a deeper grasp of cultural variety, historical settings, and social challenges that are mirrored in literature, language, and rhetoric.
