Our vision is to give our students a sense of purpose and accommodate them with skills and understanding that will enable them to be world-class citizens ready to meet the challenges of the quickly changing and highly demanding world of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Through its commitment to excellence, the Department of English will become a national leader in scholarly research, classroom pedagogy, and service to the profession and the community. We will prepare students to think critically and creatively about literature, language, culture, and technology. We will embrace the interpretation and production of texts as well as the opportunities and challenges brought to the humanities by innovative study and teaching at the intersections of literature, linguistics, creative writing, composition and rhetoric, and technical communication.
