Our mission is to assist students in developing the analytical, critical, and linguistic skills necessary for their participation in an increasingly global and technologically advanced culture, while providing them with a breadth and depth of knowledge of languages, literature, and literary history.

The department is comprised of courses in Literature, Writing, French, Spanish, and Philosophy.  We offer a major in English as well as minors in Literature, Writing, and Romance Lanuguages.  In addition we serve other departments within the university by offering support courses in literature, writing, languages and philosophy.
