English studies center around two core practices - reading and writing. Certain programs may prioritize writing skills, while others emphasize reading comprehension and analysis. However, these two elements are seldom treated in isolation. Pursuing an English degree provides essential training in understanding language mechanics. Within the English Department, you'll explore both contemporary and classical concepts through diverse texts ranging from avant-garde to conventional. You'll examine seminal literary works and cultural pieces while participating in stimulating discussions about interpretation, literary evolution, future trends, personal identity, and global perspectives. Our curriculum is structured to enhance analytical thinking, attentive reading, and articulate writing.
The English Department provides specialized courses at Memorial's Harlow Campus in England. From theatrical performances to literary landmarks and artistic activism, Harlow offers these enriching experiences and more.
