English - Cornell College

English from Cornell College is a Campus Bachelor English degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. Why Study English? English as a field of study remains at the center of contemporary culture as we move through a new century. Though the written text has always led readers into explorations of the world beyond, literary studies of today - no longer bound by the printed page - include cinema and digital technologies for creative and critical expression, with an eye toward global citizenship. English studies form the cornerstone of the liberal arts, challenging us to be imaginative and critical readers and thinkers, and to engage intellectually with all aspects of culture. Working to understand the thinking and writing of others enables us to gain control of our own thinking and writing. Along with the study of literature, creative writing is a vital component of this dynamic field of study. A background in creative and critical thinking enables our alumni to lead and serve in such fields as teaching, writing (including poetry, journalism, fiction writing, screenwriting, high-technology communications, and public relations), publishing, the law, the ministry, the academy, information technology and political service. Why Cornell? Our faculty's commitment to students, and our diverse areas of scholarly expertise enables a curriculum steeped in literary tradition while fully engaged with the contemporary world. We endeavor to teach our students to read, evaluate, and write clearly about ?the prose of the world,? the myriad texts they will be confronted with both at Cornell College and in their future lives.
