What Will I Learn in this English Major Program?
The flexibility of the program allows students to either minor in English to enhance another IWU major or to pair the bachelor’s in English with a secondary focus, such as Writing, Philosophy, History, or Religion. This interdisciplinary approach ensures that students receive a well-rounded education that broadens their perspectives and enhances their employability.
At the heart of our program is a dedicated faculty from the Division of Modern Language and Literature, who are not only highly qualified and internationally recognized but also deeply committed to mentoring students through a Christian worldview. These professionals not only instruct but also learn alongside students, guiding them as they discover their vocations and encouraging them to utilize language in a manner that glorifies God. Our graduates emerge as men and women of letters, fully equipped to navigate and harness the power of language, one of God's most profound gifts to humanity.
