The B.A. in English is a traditional and
widely respected arts and sciences degree, in which students work their way
through a series of increasingly sophisticated and complex approaches to English
and American literature. More than ninety students are currently pursuing
a B.A. in English at UMF, with many more majoring in Creative Writing and
Secondary Education-English.
Our program features small classes,
in which students engage with the meanings created by significant literary
works, learn to read sensitively, and develop important skills in writing,
critical thinking, and detailed textual analysis. Students are encouraged
to take advantage of one-on-one conferencing, and professors get to know their
students well.
The program offers a wide variety of elective
courses in literature, creative writing, and linguistics. English
students are able to use their critical thinking and communication skills in
internship opportunities on and off campus. Graduates of the English
program go on to a wide range of positions in both the private and the
public sector and to graduate school.
