Department of English website
The Department of English at Marquette University is a community of scholar-teachers and students who embrace the traditional Jesuit conception of liberal education inspired by St. Ignatius of Loyola. Grounded in this tradition, the department focuses on the study of “humane letters,” which is accorded a central and indispensable place in Jesuit education and defined as the study of rhetoric, poetry, grammar and history. Informed by this tradition as well as by contemporary literary and language studies, the department includes nationally and internationally prominent faculty and offers the following undergraduate programs of study: two majors (English Literature and Writing-Intensive English) and three minors (Literature, The Literature of Diverse Cultures and Writing-Intensive English). The Literature major studies major periods, authors and kinds of English and American literature with an emphasis on literary-historical-cultural analysis. The Writing-Intensive English major studies both literature and writing with emphases on rhetoric and composition, creative writing and/or professional writing. Both majors and the three minors provide opportunities for students to develop skills in critical reasoning, researching and evaluating information, written and spoken communication and creative writing. The course work is designed to prepare students for graduate studies or a wide variety of careers in areas including writing, editing, education, nonprofit work, business and law.
Notes:
- All literature courses must be taken from English department offerings. Foreign language literature courses do not fulfill requirements for these majors and minors.
- Students pursuing teaching certification in English by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction for an Elementary Education major must complete the Major in Literature requirements as listed below.
- Students pursuing teaching certification in English by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction for a Secondary Education major must complete the Major in Writing-Intensive English requirements found under the Department of Public Instruction-Secondary Education listed below.
