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 intelligently 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, persuasively 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. 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, & 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.
