English - Defiance College

English from Defiance College is a Campus Bachelor English degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. One of the most important skills one can derive from college is the ability to think and read critically. Facts or specific skills are fairly easily mastered. The ability, however, to organize a diverse collection of facts and ideas in thoughtful, creative, and beneficial ways is a rare skill. Add to that the ability to clearly communicate meaningful and creative ideas to a diverse audience, and you have an English graduate who is ready to take on the challenges of a complex and changing world. Students in English often enjoy novels, poems, plays, and movies. Creative writing and different ways of thinking are exciting to them. Most of all, they enjoy talking and writing about how artistic experiences enrich our lives. The 39-hour Bachelor of Arts English major offers preparation for a number of professions through its dual emphasis: (1) a 27-hour core of literature, writing, and criticism courses, and (2) a 12-hour program of major electives selected by the student. Core courses enable students to deepen their knowledge of a variety of literature and their practice of critical thinking, writing, and interpretation skills. These are foundational to a number of professions. Major elective courses allow the student to develop skills and knowledge important to professions that benefit from studies in literature and writing. View more details on Defiance College .
