The English program aims to inspire students in the pursuit of their intellectual and professional passions through the teaching of literature, literary history, and creative and professional writing. Through encounters with diverse literatures and literary traditions, and through practice in deep reading, critical interpretation, and rigorous research, students learn to contribute meaningfully to a complex and changing world.
At W&J, our students engage personally with distinguished scholars, journalists, fiction writers, and poets through visits sponsored by the Maxwell Lecture Series, the Branton Lecture Series, the Visiting Writers Series, and the Enid Parker Keen Poetry Fund. Upon graduation, our students have achieved success in education, law, journalism, marketing, social media strategy, technology, medicine, entertainment, healthcare, and management.
