Bachelor of Arts/MA in English - Writing in Norman United States | University of Oklahoma

The English Department offers undergraduate and graduate programs focusing on two primary disciplines: Literature and Cultural Studies, along with Rhetoric and Writing Studies. As the oldest and most extensive degree-granting college at the University of Oklahoma, the College of Arts and Sciences was founded in 1892 as the College of Liberal Arts, awarding its first degree six years later. The liberal arts and sciences continue to form the cornerstone of OU's academic approach, equipping students with the skills needed for fulfilling lives as engaged democratic citizens. The college delivers OU's core curriculum, introducing all undergraduates to natural and social environments while fostering critical thinking and independent perspectives. Majors within the college gain deeper training in foreign languages and humanities. We aim to develop graduates who excel in written and verbal communication, demonstrate creative problem-solving, uphold ethical reasoning, emerge as professional and community leaders, and maintain lifelong learning habits. Through comprehensive education, the College of Arts and Sciences enhances students' personal growth and societal contributions. We achieve this by connecting exceptional students with passionate faculty in an enriching academic environment, sustained by alumni and donor support, to deliver an unparalleled educational experience.
