在圣迈克尔学院的英语系，我们既将文学作为艺术（对人类自然与文化的审美再现）又作为文学作品（对人类与自然文化的记录）进行研究。从关于《纽约客》和公路旅行的入门研讨会到关于《怪物与结局》的高级研讨会，我们提供的课程鼓励学生自我检查，发现差异并在其他读者和作家社区中融入复杂性。我们的折衷部由周到，热情的老师组成，我们的课程充满活力，魅力和挑战。
Through the study of literature, the English Department seeks to stimulate aesthetic awareness, elevate critical thought, promote clear writing, and encourage communal reflection on the complex ways language animates our lives. Our eclectic offerings serve students across the college in addition to majors and minors in English. Collectively, we work to model intellectual curiosity and foster the sense of wonder that is the driving force behind a vibrant, creative, ''examined'' life.
