Develop and refine your writing style; deepen your literary analysis, and gain the broad, flexible, and indispensable skills that prepare you for a wide variety of graduate programs and careers with the English bachelor’s degree program at Franciscan University of Steubenville in Ohio. The major in English consists of three concentrations: British and American literature, Western and World literature, and Writing. If electives permit, you can work on more than one concentration at a time. If you’re interested in teaching, you may also work in the Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) Literature program.
Deepen your insight into the human condition
Through your Franciscan University English degree, grounded in the Catholic intellectual tradition, you’ll grow in your understanding of the human condition, the world, your Catholic faith, and God. You’ll search for truth, goodness, and beauty in works of both fiction and nonfiction from diverse cultures and literary traditions. You’ll learn from mentoring English degree faculty who stay current in their particular research fields, from contemporary Christian poetry to medieval literature.
