English - Davis & Elkins College

English from Davis & Elkins College is a Campus Bachelor English degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. The English Department at Davis and Elkins College encourages students to explore their individual interests in literature and creative writing, while developing skills that will prepare them for a variety of careers. Our faculty is comprised entirely of full-time professors; each holds a Ph.D. and works closely with students in classes of limited size. English course offerings are designed to promote essential writing skills, in addition to literary appreciation and analysis. Consequently, we offer a broad range of writing-intensive classes, and a full spectrum of introductory and advanced courses in literature. A number of factors make the Davis and Elkins English program unique. We offer training in World literature, for example, in addition to American and British literature; such range is unusual in a college of our size, but ever more important in today's increasingly "global" world. We also teach a number of exciting Special Topics courses, drawn from our own varied interests and areas of specialization. Recent examples include Magic and Fantasy in Literature, Faith in Literature, Crime and Punishment in Literature, the Beat Poets, Literature and The Culture Wars, and Native American Mythology. We are particularly proud of the outlets available to students interested in creative writing at Davis and Elkins College. Not only do we offer courses in poetry and fiction writing, but the English Department sponsors and supports many other creative outlets, as well. Our literary journal, Aurora, is student-edited, faculty-advised, and awfully impressive (when you visit campus, ask for a copy and see for yourself!). The Senator is our campus newspaper, and English majors and minors contribute to its success, as well. We also sponsor an annual Shakespeare Conference, regular guest writers, speakers, and workshops, and an active "open mic" poetry group (which, these days, is a popular forum for students interested in slam, rap, and other alternative poetry and expressive-art forms).
