About the Department of English

The Department of English's motto—"Start here, go anywhere"—captures the
unique value of our undergraduate and graduate English degrees, ones that
can serve students in any art form, any discipline, and any profession. In
fact, our degrees can take students anywhere they wish to travel. The
Department of English faculty is internationally renowned for innovative
research and teaching and explores the pan-world expression of the English
language and its literature, which span the global yet connect directly to
the local. The skills of critical thinking, reading comprehension, and
analytic expression cultivated in the degrees are transferable into any
endeavor. In particular, such skills provide the foundation for creative
problem-solving and cultivate individual and collective expression. The
department takes as its purview not just historical positioned work,
whether linguistic or textual, but includes all forms of expression and all
modes of new media, whether analogical or digital. We emphasize
writing—academic, creative, personal, public, and workplace—that explores
difference reflectively and functionally. Our goal is to educate citizens
who can think, read, write, and act in robust and significant ways to meet
new challenges.
