Overview
The Department of English is one of the largest, most diverse departments on campus, with divisions devoted to literature, creative writing, technical writing, linguistics, and linguistics with a concentration in English as a Second Language (ESL).
The literature division offers a range of courses in British,
American and world literature from the earliest periods
to the present day. Courses in literary criticism and theory
educate students in orthodox and postmodern modes of analysis,
and various special topics courses offer students the opportunity
to study literature and culture across conventional boundaries
of period and discipline.
The creative writing faculty consists of several nationally
recognized writers. One of the distinctive strengths of
this program lies in how closely the literature and creative
writing faculties work together, exploring ways in which
knowledge of diverse literary traditions facilitates the
development of one's own craft.
The technical writing program offers students the opportunity
to gain the theory and practice to work as technical communicators
in any industry, including manufacturing, electronics, computer
software and hardware, airlines, and telecommunications.
The linguistics faculty are well-known scholars with national
and international reputations, qualified not only across
the core areas of linguistics (phonetics/phonology, morphology,
syntax, semantics), but also in their various specializations.
