Welcome

Through an intensive and extensive study of literature in all its variety, Rowan English majors learn to probe, analyze, discuss, differentiate, synthesize, research, and write about the worlds that the written word opens to us. Rowan English majors form a unique learning community combining, ideally, a critically inquiring mind and a sense of civic responsibility. The departmental mission is to facilitate and to model the evolution of this learning community, employing whatever methods are most appropriate for a particular learning situation, ranging from lecture to experiential learning to the use of technology within the classroom. The department is dedicated to the study of literature as at once idealistic and practical, liberal and professional. It presents to us humanity and diversity, the comedy and tragedy of life, the common and uncommon experiences we share with our fellow human beings.

Attention: The department has revised their academic policies for the Fall 2006 semester. All students are advised to review the new policies which can be found here.
