English Undergraduate Degree Programs
Undergraduate students in our English program get the individual attention they need to grow and develop as teachers, writers and communicators. Program faculty members use teaching approaches that vary depending on the subject. Some courses are taught online while others use a workshop format, and a few include multimedia presentations.
The English program strives to make literature relevant for today’s students by offering courses in magic realism, Shakespeare’s plays, young adult literature, monsters in literature, film studies, literary theory and the British Enlightenment. Whether you are interested in the classics of literature and want to reach back thousands of years to unlock treasures from the past, or you want to examine the way literature is received today, we can help you find your way.
