The English Program is to educate undergraduate students in the analysis and interpretation of literature and literary criticism in English, critical reading and research practices, writing, and rhetoric, in order to better prepare emerging writers and educators to be critical and ethical citizens in a complex, dynamic, and global society.<br><br>The English Program offers an exciting curriculum with lots of scheduling flexibility so that students can choose the courses they find interesting. Our faculty specialize in prison literature, disability studies, postcolonial literatures from around the world, Shakespeare, Chicanx and Latinx literatures, and digital humanities.
