English
The Department of English grounds students in the knowledge and practice of literary
interpretation and history, as well as rhetorical theory and practice. Find the Department's
Mission Statement here.
In addition, we train teachers in a variety of pedagogical models and encourage them to reflect critically upon the teaching profession and their place therein. We produce literate citizens and teachers of exceptional merit, with the ability to interpret and contextualize acts of signification in relation to their conditions of production and reception.
