The English Department houses degree programs in Writing and Literature, Creative Writing, and Journalism, and it offers courses in composition, literature, creative writing, journalism, and urban studies. Our curriculum allows students to read and write about diverse traditions, both new and established, and to think critically about how gender, race, economic background, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, and religion, among other factors, are explored in a writer’s text. The English Department’s courses prepare students to write as a means of reflecting on and contributing to a complex and constantly changing world.
