About the Department of English:
The Department of English's motto—"Start here, go anywhere"—captures
the unique value of our undergraduate and graduate English degrees,
ones that can serve students in any art form, any discipline, and any
profession. In fact, our degrees can take students anywhere they wish
to travel. The Department of English faculty is internationally
renowned for innovative research and teaching and explores the
pan-world expression of the English language and its literature, which
span the global yet connect directly to the local. The skills of
critical thinking, reading comprehension, and analytic expression
cultivated in the degrees are transferable into any endeavor. In
particular, such skills provide the foundation for creative
problem-solving and cultivate individual and collective expression.
The department takes as its purview not just historical positioned
work, whether linguistic or textual, but includes all forms of
expression and all modes of new media, whether analogical or digital.
We emphasize writing—academic, creative, personal, public, and
workplace—that explores difference reflectively and functionally. Our
goal is to educate citizens who can think, read, write, and act in
robust and significant ways to meet new challenges.

wide range of careers and to address the challenges of the twenty-
first century. Advancing the success of our students remains our top
priority. To learn more about The College of Liberal Arts and
