All degree programs in the Department of English, Speech, and
Journalism share a central, essential
devotion to the core values of a liberal arts
education: to help you cultivate your
critical intelligence; develop your
expressive skills in speaking, writing, and
other forms of meaning-making; and advance
your understanding of the ways language,
writing, and argument function in historical
and contemporary contexts.
Though each program's emphasis is of course different, all are
linked in crucial ways, sharing a belief in
the fundamental value of various forms of
literacy and the skillful, ethical use of
language and persuasion to the good
functioning of modern society.
