Welcome

Welcome to the Department of English and Writing Studies.

In English and Writing Studies, we study literature, film, theatre, and other forms of expression, and we explore the theory and practice of creative and expository writing. Small classes combined with inspiring, award-winning professors provide the perfect setting to learn to research effectively, think creatively, and write persuasively in one or more of five areas: English language and literature; creative and professional writing; film history, theory, and production; theatre and performance; and medieval studies.

English and Writing Studies students discuss historical issues and current ideas that shape the ways we see the world. Students develop critical- and creative-thinking skills that are highly valued professional assets across a wide variety of occupations and career pathways, including law, teaching, journalism, media, communications, publishing and the creative arts, business, and public service.
