Critique to creative
B-W’s English program emphasizes writing, drama, poetry, and literature–a combination rich in critical thinking and problem-solving application. You’ll gain proficiency in expository, creative and journalistic writing–giving you an edge in today’s communications-based world.
Beyond the classroom
Studying British writers by spending a semester in Great Britain makes learning real. So, too, does working on an independent research project or interning at a magazine, newspaper, communications company or other organization. Through off-campus study and other experiential learning initiatives, you can be in the neighborhood and across the world.
Getting published
If you’re looking to get published, you can turn to B-W’s literary magazine or two student-run newspapers. Another invaluable source is B-W’s faculty, many of whom have published books, poems, articles and scholarly works.
