BA in English in Cambridge United States | Harvard University

Welcome to the English Department, where we explore timeless literary works while fostering the creation of tomorrow's literature through Harvard's creative writing program. Whether you wish to thoroughly study beloved authors or discover new voices and artistic styles, we're here to guide you. We're convinced that increased reading and imaginative education would significantly enhance both Harvard and the global community.

When planning your studies, you'll need to choose a concentration adviser - a faculty member who will mentor you throughout your English specialization. This could be a professor you've studied under or someone who shares your academic passions. We can suggest potential advisers, and your choice may evolve as your interests develop or faculty availability changes. However, we recommend establishing this advising relationship when declaring your concentration. Reach out via email, visit office hours, and connect with our faculty. Any non-creative writing faculty member can serve as your concentration adviser.
