About the Department
Students can engage Shakespeare’s tragedies, Hollywood screwball comedies, Chaucer’s verse, Charlotte Brontë’s or Toni Morrison’s fiction—exploring, testing and challenging the complex and divergent perspectives they find.
- The major in English is part of the Bachelor of Arts program, which includes the option of a paired major in English and Feminist Studies.
- A minor in English can be combined with any major program at Southwestern.
- In addition, students seeking certification to teach in secondary schools may choose English as a second teaching field, and those seeking elementary certification may choose an academic specialization in English.
