Welcome

Through an intensive and extensive study of literature in all its variety, Rowan English majors learn to interpret and write about the worlds that the written word opens to us. Rowan English majors form a unique and diverse learning community combining, ideally, a critically inquiring mind and a sense of civic responsibility. The department is dedicated to the rigors and pleasures of the study of literature, the experience of research, and the craft of writing, as at once idealistic and practical, liberal and professional. 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 in the classroom.
