英语文学学士学位
A bachelor of arts degree in 英语 is founded on building your critical 写作 and thinking skills through the analysis and production of rhetoric and literature within their historical and sociopolitical contexts. You will learn to evaluate the ways that rhetorical and literary conventions create meaning, and in doing so you will gain social, 哲学, and moral insights about socially just communities both large and small.
Our department is committed to fostering a sound liberal arts academic experience and to preparing you to meet the educational, 专业, 以及该地区的文化需求. B.A. in 英语 will prepare you for a variety of careers outside the obvious ones of 专业 写作 and teaching--you will be well equipped to deal with the 专业 demands of many jobs, since you will be a great communicator who has been trained to think analytically and interact effectively with people.
Our department has a large network of alumni and community supporters who contact us frequently looking for graduates of our program (like you!), so job placement is also one of the ways we strive to support our students both during their studies and after graduation.
