What You’ll Do
Indiana University of Pennsylvania’s English Studies program offers an intellectual environment in which peoples who have been marginalized and texts that are innovative in form are an integral part of the curriculum along with the more traditional concerns of English. As an English Studies major, you’ll be encouraged to design your own course of study, beginning with core requirements in literature, language, and writing. Working with your advisor, you’ll focus on a particular field of English as your Track: Film Studies; Language Studies; Literary, Textual, and Cultural Studies; Writing Studies; or English Pre-law Studies.
As an English Studies major in the Writing Studies Track, you’ll be studying the theory and practice of writing in a variety of genres. As you learn about various approaches to writing tasks for diverse audiences, you’ll be honing your skills to create a portfolio of writing to use in applying to graduate programs or for professional positions.
What You’ll Become
Like all English Studies majors, you’ll have the skills to become an active and capable member of the global community and an effective contributor to the multicultural workplace. As an English Studies major in the Writing Studies Track, you’ll be prepared for any career that requires professional writing skills.
