English Department Program Goals/Objectives
The Department of English has structured its graduate programs to
provide students with opportunities to develop critical reading,
writing and thinking strategies. In accordance with principles
articulated by the Modern Language Association (MLA) and other
professional organizations, English majors will:
- read attentively, closely, and critically;
- write thoughtfully, coherently, and persuasively;
- develop and challenge their own thinking through scholarly research.
Candidates seeking permanent/professional
certification will also meet NCTE standards for the preparation of
teachers of English Language Arts.
