English - University of Baltimore

English from University of Baltimore is a Campus Bachelor English degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. Studying English means immersing yourself in a classic liberal arts education, but at UB, we offer something more. As an English major, you'll cultivate habits of attention, inquiry and analysis that come from reading and thinking about literature . You'll develop awareness of language , mastery of technique and creative vision as poets and fiction writers. And you'll gain practical understanding of how technologies shape ideas, forms of expression and cultural values. The literature specialization fosters critical-thinking and interpretive skills (what we think are the keys to lifelong success) and exposes you to aesthetic and historical perspectives. You'll read deeply and widely, discussing and writing about what you read, and you'll develop a keen appreciation for what the poet Byron called "the magic of the mind." The professional writing specialization concentrates on the in-demand editing, writing and publishing skills valuable in almost every academic, governmental, nonprofit and business setting. The creative writing specialization develops and nurtures your creative voice and gives you the opportunity to establish a deep understanding of the importance of audience and of the editing process. The discourse & technology specialization encourages you to become media literate, combining the study of language and narrative with a variety of practical applications like video and digital design. You'll explore the ways in which ideas and experiences may be represented through various technologies, which in turn shape our ideas and experiences in a constant, forward-moving cycle.
