The English and Professional Writing Program offers an A.A. and a B.A. in English. The B.A. in English includes concentrations in Literature and in Creative Writing. Both degree concentrations give students a grounding in the reading and writing skills necessary for entry into a variety of professions. In the English program, students read the great stories and poems of the American and English traditions, study the foundations of narrative in the Western literary classics, and explore contemporary literatures of diversity. Through close analysis of literary masterpieces and sustained practice in writing, students gain the mastery of the English language that allows them to pursue careers in writing, editing, publishing, teaching, advertising, public relations, business administration, and technical writing. The B.A. in English is also a strong undergraduate degree for those wishing to pursue graduate studies in English and a career in college teaching, for those seeking entrance into law school or graduate programs in library science.
