School of Writing, Literature, and Film

Why English?  A major or minor with a lifetime of value!

The School of Writing, Literature, and Film in Moreland Hall has been home to the English major since the mid-1960s.  We offer a very well-established yet forward-looking program with a fine tradition of supporting majors in their aspirations to challenging careers, professions, and personal interests.
