In addition to established courses in major periods and famous authors, English faculty members offer special courses on significant themes, theories, and topics that vary each semester.
Writing is central in every part of the University's English program, both as the medium through which we hone our ability to reflect upon what we read and as a subject unto itself. Thus, along with courses in literature, in which writing plays a principal role, you may take courses in various genres of creative writing and/or business and professional writing.
These courses can enhance both personal creativity and professional competence. Also, both Premedical and Pre-law majors often use English as a preparatory degree for professional studies. The emphasis placed on analytical thinking and effective writing skills proves to be a valuable asset in graduate professional studies, where English majors rank among the most successful applicants.
If you choose to major in English at SLU, you'll be able to pursue a concentration that interests you, including creative writing; rhetoric, writing and technology; or research intensive English. In addition to a B.A. in English, SLU also has minors in English and creative writing, as well as a certificate in creative and professional writing that is offered in conjunction with the University's communication department.
