The English program specializing in drama and scriptwriting equips students with critical literary and analytical abilities essential for careers in education, writing, academia, and theater. Through literature and theater history courses, students explore the vast heritage of dramatic works spanning ancient to modern times, including traditional and modern plays from Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas. In every literature course, learners examine both the artistic qualities of texts and the underlying beliefs, perspectives, and social forces within their cultural and historical settings. Creative writing workshops allow students to hone their writing talents while cultivating respect for fellow authors' craftsmanship.
