Profile
The English Department’s curriculum, ranging from the classics to the dynamic innovations of world literature in English, is designed to develop students’ lifelong appreciation of the value and pleasure of literature. If interpreting literature enriches self-expression and empathy, knowledge of literary traditions and forms provides the understanding of historical and cultural difference essential to cosmopolitan humanism.The English major is excellent preparation for a variety of professions. It develops the strong analytic, research, and writing skills crucial to success in most professional fields (e.g., law, medicine, journalism), as well as precise, sensitive communications,an asset in most careers. A major or minor in English can demonstrate cultural and linguistic proficiency for non-native speakers seeking work in English-speaking environments.The English Department offers courses on British and American literature and the growing body of transnational literature from Africa, India, and the Caribbean. Field trips bring literature alive. The Shakespeare course travels to Stratford-upon-Avon to see Shakespeare’s plays in his home town. Madrid’s museums and theaters enable study of literature in the context of other art forms. Students can also explore their own creativity in creative writing classes and pursue independent research in the Senior Seminar. The English faculty, trained at highly distinguished research institutions, are active scholars who are passionate about teaching.
