The Bachelor of Arts in English with a writing concentration is designed for those students who wish to combine their love of reading with a close study of the elements of writing in preparation for a future in which writing will play a central role.

Such positions are available to people who can communicate effectively in speech and writing, so students in this emphasis balance their work in literature with courses in subjects like web design, business communication, technical writing, or public relations. A number of internship opportunities that allow students to develop their professional portfolios are available; contact the Department Chair for more information about these.
