English Language & Literature

Bachelor of Arts

To study English at Stevenson University is to enter a community committed to:

  • Respect for the individual and his or her intellectual, social, and professional development
  • A purposeful study of English Language, literature, and writing through sequences of crafted learning experiences inside and outside of the classroom
  • Collaboration between each student and the faculty

The major prepares students to face the challenges of their careers, of a diverse world, and of a lifetime of learning.  Its graduates go into the world armed with skills essential to meeting these challenges.  They have mastered the ability to:

  • Read closely and analytically
  • Reason and argue clearly and precisely
  • Communicate thoughts effectively and precisely in speech and in writing
  • Clarify personal values in relation to the values of others

These skills are essential and attractive to all businesses and professions, and no other major will develop all four to the level that the study of English will.
