Effective writing and editing

In the Department of English, you’ll cultivate your writing and unleash your creativity. English majors immerse themselves in diverse literary works, honing their skills in exposition and analysis. Game design majors craft their own game while delving into the history and ethics of games and gaming. Professional writing majors gain expertise in publishing and marketing, preparing them to become leaders in the workplace. 

You will study, create, and develop the writing and content that gives structure and meaning to everyday life.
