English majors actively engage with literature from classical to contemporary authors. The program cultivates close analysis of literary texts and relevant contexts as well as develops students’ skills in mindful interpretation through the study and application of literary theory. Students reflect upon and respond to literature from diverse cultures, perspectives, and genres, discussing literature in terms of their own worldview as well as Biblical principles. The English major prepares students for careers in a wide range of professions and ministries including secondary education; writing, editing, and publishing; commerce, industry, and government; and graduate study. Students interested in English Subject Matter Competence should contact the program advisor. English majors are encouraged to consult and collaborate with program instructors to develop the best approach to their studies.
