English

The English Department believes that words matter. They have the power to inform, challenge, connect, and inspire. Through the exploration of diverse stories, perspectives, and voices, students are encouraged to think critically, consciously, and creatively about the world around them. Our courses aim to help students become confident readers, thoughtful writers, and effective communicators both inside and outside the classroom.
