Language is one of the most powerful tools at the disposal of educated m= en and women. English is the discipline where students encounter works of f= iction, poetry, and drama that unlock the richest potentialities of languag= e. Students are also afforded a range of opportunities for developing their= own writing to the fullest: critical essays on literature in a variety of = courses, workshops in creative writing (poetry, fiction, and nonfiction), a= nd the art of the essay. Language is also approached through linguistics, t= he history of English, and global English.With advanced training in English= increasingly necessary for business and professional careers, this course = of study is universally recognized as an ideal "preprofessional major"---on= e that opens career possibilities in such fields as law, publishing, teachi= ng, and community service.
The English major offers a rich variety of courses for students interest= ed in literature, creative writing, and language and society. Among the int= erdisciplinary offerings are courses in film, linguistics, and global studi= es.
Students may prepare for the study of literature on the graduate level. = Concentrated work in English will be of great value to students preparing f= or such business and professional careers as editing, publishing, science a= nd technical writing, advertising, public relations, and communications. Th= e literature courses are designed to help students sharpen their reading an= d writing skills, gain new insights into human nature and cultural diversit= y, and achieve increased flexibility in their own approach to life.
Students preparing for graduate study in literature should have some kno= wledge of the range of English, American, and non-Western literature and sh= ould be acquainted with such major figures as Chaucer and Shakespeare. Beca= use most graduate schools have foreign language requirements and candidates= must sometimes demonstrate competence in several languages, prospective gr= aduate students are urged to undertake their study of foreign languages as = early as possible.
Students in English are encouraged to broaden their base of knowledge in= as many fields as possible, many of which will resonate with interdiscipli= nary approaches in their English courses. Courses in comparative literature= , foreign languages, communication studies, history, art, music, religion, = philosophy, psychology, sociology, and education are especially recommended= .
