Miller Mission & Learning Outcomes The Department of English equips students to explore, from a faith-informed perspective, the complex narrative worlds of both literature and life that they might live out their callings more intel- ligently and compassionately.
With this in view, the English department’s objectives are:
1. To mentor students in the concepts, skills and attitudes which enable trenchant literary analysis and deepen the pleasures of reading.
2. To equip students to write and speak incisively, persua- sively and creatively.
3. To explore and appraise the ideas and ideologies literary works represent, and to appreciate the complex ways such works and their traditions arise from, reflect, and contribute to the development of culture and history. 4. To acquaint students with diverse theoretical approaches to literature and help them identify implicit assumptions, contributions and implications. 5. To explore and identify how literary skills and sensibilities can prepare Christians to engage more intelligently and compassionately in their worlds.
