Our English Department is vibrant and cross-disciplinary, providing a Ph.D. program in English without offering a standalone M.A. degree. Students follow tailored academic paths based on whether they enter with a BA or MA. Principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion are deeply embedded in both faculty research and teaching methods, informing how we support students' varied talents and requirements through curriculum adjustments. Unlike conventional DEI statements that often reduce faculty and students of color to symbolic figures, our department uniquely views DEI as the transformative influence that marginalized scholars, students, their histories, and communities bring to reshaping research approaches, teaching methods, and academic collaboration.
