We have a degree ?spoke? for each, sprouting from a ?hub? curriculum that covers research, literature and criticism. Students from this program continue on to Ph.D. and M.F.A. programs, teaching, and professional writing careers.

The English Department takes a holistic approach to literary studies, emphasizing both reading and advanced writing skills. All students complete a 12-credit ?hub? of core requirements, which include literature, research and criticism courses. Then they choose to focus on one of three ?spokes?: literature, writing or creative writing. In all three formats, students find engaging class discussions, connect with faculty mentors and receive one-on-one guidance to meet their goals.
