Overview

The English program prepares students for a versatile professional life and/or graduate school by refining skills in communication, critical thinking, and comprehension and analysis, accomplished through a balance of writing and literature coursework. After graduating from this program, students will be able to identify and discuss the main genres of literature using the basic terminology of literary analysis, make valid arguments assessing the aesthetic merit of works of literature, both formally and informally, distinguish work from the traditional and non-traditional literary canons. They will also demonstrate a mastery of the English language through written projects reflecting sophistication in content, organization, style, and research. Above all, students will gain a deeper understanding of not only themselves and their own world, but the perspectives of many other individuals, past and present, who have immortalized their own experiences in writing. In the English program, students will explore the many ways humans have communicated throughout history and improve their own rhetorical skills. For students who are interested in teaching or graduate school in literature, the program offers coverage of American, British, and World Literatures, as well as specialty courses in topics like Appalachian literature and women’s literature. Lees–McRae College's writing courses, including Advanced Research and Composition, Technical Writing, and #Writing: The Art of Narrative in New Media, prepare students for careers in creative writing, journalism and other 21st century communications professions.

OPT and STEM OPT eligibility depend on maintaining F-1 status and on the program. A program counts as STEM only when its CIP code is on the official STEM list — not because its name sounds technical.
