Journey into the World of Words
The English major at Western New England University prepares students to read carefully, think critically, and communicate persuasively. Our majors become engaged, independent thinkers with the discipline to shape their own insights into meaningful creative and scholarly work. The result is a set of versatile skills that serve our graduates well in a wide variety of fields including education, journalism and publishing, law, and business.
Why Choose English?
The English major is more than just reading and writing. It is the understanding of history, critical thinking, and the English language. English literature is not only about the plot of the story, but also the time period, character development, and social commentary of the era. By pursuing a degree in English, not only will you have a better understanding of the world around you, you will also develop important skills employers look for, including writing, reading with a critical eye, and communication.
