Draft Your Own Success Story with an English Degree
Marywood University's English program will teach you to write for a variety of purposes and audiences. Courses provide instruction and practice for English majors in three types of writing: creative, professional, and activist. They will help you develop strong rhetorical skills and expertise in editing for correctness and style.
English degree courses help students develop strong rhetorical skills and expertise in editing for correctness and style—abilities that readily transfer to new writing situations.
We offer small seminars that use workshop approaches, a gateway course, and a research-based capstone course for english majors.
From the first step I took on campus for a tour as a senior in high school the first thing that stood out to me was family. I felt a part of a family as soon as I came here and fell in love with the school. This is something that I will remember and have for the rest of my life. Marywood has gone beyond the expectations of a university and have brought me into a new family.
