You should major in English if you love reading and talking about literature, if you desire warm encouragement and rigorous training in the critical skills of reading, writing and thinking, and if you seek a strong foundation for a lifetime of deeper learning and more articulate communication. Our Department of English will help you challenge yourself as you develop your mind and expand your comprehension of both books and the world.
