Overview
English courses prepare students for success in a wide variety of careers. In literature, authors examine the challenges of human existence, and readers participate by discussing and writing about what makes texts and their ideas important and pertinent to new generations. We consider the English degree to be the “degree for life” because English courses develop three skills needed in any field: the ability to read analytically, the ability to think critically, and the ability to write clearly. These skills are developed by close readings of literary texts and by exploring their personal and historical contexts. The English degree prepares students to enter fields where knowledge of texts, critical thinking, and written and oral communication are vital.
Humanistic studies courses are interdisciplinary courses that emphasize, encourage, and support creative and critical thinking in addressing the complex questions, problems, and challenges of an interconnected world. Every Humanistic studies course focuses on topics, subjects, and real-world problems that are inherently interdisciplinary. These courses explore subjects, topics, and real-world problems from the perspective of at least three integrated disciplines, drawing from the arts, the humanities, the sciences, the social sciences, and professional studies. Students are expected to not only gain knowledge and skills from a variety of integrated disciplines, but they are also expected to learn to think from cross-disciplinary, multidisciplinary, and transdisciplinary perspectives, which are all germane to interdisciplinarity.
Mission
The Department of English and Interdisciplinary Studies seeks to promote the university’s mission by providing students with a high-quality education in English language and literature and in the theories, methods, and real-world applications of interdisciplinary studies. We are committed to developing students’ powers of critical thinking, analysis, reading, and writing. We believe students who complete any of the department’s programs will be prepared to compete vigorously in the global marketplace and to pursue a variety of career paths or to seek further education.
Objectives
To accomplish this mission, the Department of English and Interdisciplinary Studies:
- develops and maintains a solid curriculum in language and literature that stimulates student curiosity, rewards critical engagement, and is central to a valuable liberal arts education;
- offers interdisciplinary humanistic studies courses on relevant and contemporary topics that are best understood from a variety of different disciplinary perspectives;
- offers major and minor degree programs in both English and interdisciplinary studies;
- emphasizes critical reading and writing as an integral component of success in our programs, our university, and beyond;
- builds a community of scholars, professionals, and life-long learners and helps initiate students in the profession(s) through regular events, faculty-student collaborative projects, and opportunities to tutor and to assist in the teaching of language and literature and interdisciplinary studies courses
- encourages and supports research, scholarship, and professional achievement that advance the field of study and enhance the programs and visibility of the university at large;
- encourages interdisciplinary and interdepartmental initiatives to augment the intellectual vitality of the department and of the university and to help students develop an integrated approach to learning; and
- serves the community through event programming and collaborative projects and serves as a resource to local schools and other public institutions
Learning Outcomes
Students who complete the B.A. in English or the B.S. in Secondary English Education will be able to:
- Demonstrate familiarity with representative literary texts;
- Read, interpret, and analyze literary texts within their proper historical, cultural, and literary contexts;
- Conduct research into both primary and secondary sources on topics concerning authors, texts, and issues;
- Develop original positions/theses on authors, texts, and issues using both primary and secondary sources; and
- Pursue and present their original positions/theses cogently in effective, polished prose with proper documentation using the MLA Style of citation.
Students who complete the B.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies will be able to:
- Demonstrate knowledge of interdisciplinarity and interdisciplinary studies;
- Defend the combination of concentrations that they chose for their major as a productive alliance;
- Produce a senior capstone project that successfully integrates their two concentrations; and
- Present convincing arguments clearly and effectively in polished prose, using discipline-appropriate documentation.
Sigma Tau Delta
The English program sponsors Alpha Lambda Epsilon, a local chapter of Sigma Tau Delta, the International English Honor Society. Sigma Tau Delta’s central purpose is to confer distinction upon students of the English language and literature in undergraduate, graduate and professional studies. Candidates for undergraduate membership must have completed at least three semesters of college work and a minimum of two college courses in English language or literature beyond the usual requirements in freshman English. Members must also have a minimum 3.0 grade point average in English and rank at least in the highest 35 percent of their class in general scholarship. Students may contact the department chair for more information on becoming a member of Alpha Lambda Epsilon.
