ENGLISH

  • Program Description
  • Faculty
  • Courses
  • Writing Handbook

English is an excellent choice for students interested in education, business, law, publishing, and social work.

ABOUT THE ENGLISH PROGRAM

The English major is designed to prepare students for graduate study in the field; those seeking a foundation for postgraduate work or study in fields related to English (e.g., education, journalism, communications, editing and publishing, law, theater); and those who want a humanistic base in reading, thinking, and writing for a liberal arts education.

As majors in English at Tusculum College, students will have access to a varied group of experts engaged in exploring different aspects of literature and writing. The block program gives the faculty time to work with students on their skills and allows the faculty to offer special projects and field experiences (like trips to special libraries and to art events).

The English Department also supports the mission of citizenship and service through its projects and through the study of ethical and social issues in literature and writing.

CHOOSE FROM FOUR CONCENTRATIONS

The English Program offers students a choice of four concentrations:

  • Literature
  • Creative Writing
  • Journalism and Professional Writing
  • Teachers Licensure in English

  • Submit a letter of intent to the department chair,
  • Complete ENGL 301 Honors Reading (1 semester hour),
  • Complete ENGL 445, Honors Thesis, which is approved by a department faculty member (a thesis director) of the student’s choice, and a second faculty reader.
