Tackle critical and complex issues

By studying literature, rhetoric, composition, and critical theory, students in the English Department acquire experience in intertextual and cross-disciplinary inquiry across many cultures and historical periods. They learn critical approaches to texts and issues that enable them to interpret and compare positions; to read closely, critically, and with empathy; to conduct research; to weigh evidence; and to write with insight and expertise.
