Mission and 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 intelligently and compassionately. With this in view, the English department’s learning objectives are: 1. Cultivate empathy through engaging with texts. 2. Illustrate intellectual curiosity and devise strategies for independent inquiry. 3. Situate literary and rhetorical texts in dialogue with Christian faith traditions. 4. Articulate the value of diverse textual perspectives. 5. Evaluate a variety of theoretical lenses and apply them critically. 6. Interpret texts within their socio-historical contexts. 7. Construct clear and persuasive arguments using textual evidence. 8. Recognize the aesthetic and formal qualities of literary and rhetorical texts. 9. Practice the craft of writing in a variety of genres appropriate to audience. International Students All students requesting transfer of credits from countries where English is not the primary language must provide the following to be assessed by the English Department prior to approval of credits: sample writings, a course description from the University’s catalog, a syllabus of the course, writings from the course and transcript. Final decision will be made by the department chair. English as a Second Language (ESL) All non-native speakers of English will be able to count 12 credits of ESL instruction from English 151, 152, 161, and 171 toward graduation. For students pursuing the B.A. degree, the 12 credits of ESL will satisfy the foreign language requirement. For students pursuing the B.S. degree, four credits will satisfy the foreign language requirement and an additional eight credits can be counted as electives.
A Bachelor of Arts degree in English is offered upon completion of the University baccalaureate with an English major in one of three concentrations: Generalist, Writing, or Secondary Instruction. Thirty-six credits are required, of which 24 credits must be upper-division in the major. GPA Requirements A minimum grade of “C” is required for credit for any course counted toward the major.
