英语专业专业为英语系的本科生提供了一种选择地将他们的选修课程集中于文学研究专业领域的方式。尽管需要某些专业才能使用有限数量的系外课程，但通常需要四门课程来完成该专业，这通常作为学生正常英语上级选修课的一部分。英语系教师包括当今文学研究最前沿的著名学者，以及有兴趣向学生介绍当代研究重大趋势的学者。该系提供涵盖各种历史时期的传统课程，以及用英语编写的各种国家和全球文献。英语系还提供文学与思想（链接是外部的）以及文学与环境等领域的一系列专业。
The English Department Faculty includes prominent scholars at the forefront of current literary studies, scholars who are interested in introducing students to significant trends in contemporary research. The department offers traditional courses covering a range of historical periods and a variety of national and global literatures written in English. The English major specializations offer a way for undergraduates in the English Department to optionally focus their elective coursework towards a specialized field of literary study. Four courses are required to complete a specialization, typically taken as part of the student's normal English upper division elective course load, although some specializations allow the use of a limited number of out-of-Department courses.
