English and Modern Languages

The Department of English and Modern Languages offers a flexible B.A. in English that can be completed either online or face-to-face. The program develops strong skills in writing, research, close reading, literary analysis, and cultural and historical interpretation—preparing students for a wide range of careers and graduate study. An English degree opens doors to fields such as journalism, advertising, law, marketing, public relations, teaching, editing, and technical writing.

The department also offers minors in English and Spanish, along with introductory courses in Chinese.

In recent years, there has been an increasing awareness of the importance of communication skills in every area of endeavor. Responding to the growing demand for effective communications, the department has established a minor field of study in English with literature and professional writing tracks. This minor complements a variety of majors in business, as well as technical and social services.

With increasing trade among countries, competency in a second language can be a key factor in the successful attainment of a position in business, public relations, commerce, or government. The Department offers a minor in Spanish.
