English

The Department of English's programs are designed to offer a variety of approaches to the study of English. English majors at Western can study literature and language, creative writing, English education, and rhetoric and professional writing. You will gain and develop skills in analyzing texts, communicating through the written and spoken word, and in thinking critically—all important skills both in and out of the work place. You’ll work closely with our specialized faculty to hone the art of writing for your own purposes.
