English, BA

Majoring in English provides students with a wealth of intellectual and practical learning, a foundation to future success. In today's high-technology, interconnected world, the ability to read carefully, think imaginatively, understand others, and communicate across all types of platforms and formats is essential.

Students in the English major at UWM get to choose a track and focus their studies on an area of particular interest:

Literature and Cultural Theory - where the reading and analysis of literature is emphasized
Rhetoric and Writing - a broad field that includes writing for different genres
Creative Writing - ideal for students who love fiction and poetry
Professional and Technical Writing -  with an emphasis on business documentation
Media, Cinema, and Digital Studies - includes the many forms of communicating through media such as film, tv, games, and the web
In small classes, our students learn to understand the power and possibilities of the English language across the centuries and around the world. Students learn to think critically, write persuasively, argue logically, delve deeply into history, and explore their own creativity. Students are challenged to examine their own assumptions, sharpen their writing, and learn how to read and understand even the most difficult works, from fiction to philosophy.
