Liberty University’s Master of Arts in English is an advanced English degree that will further develop your ability to analyze literature, language, writing, and criticism relevant to teaching and non-teaching fields. The program allows you to engage in meaningful research and writing, grounded in a Biblical worldview.

Students completing the Master of Arts in English will study the languages and literatures of other cultures, understand the value of the English language in the development of Western history and culture, and master competencies in oral and written communication.

You will also develop analytical reasoning and critical reading skills with a variety of texts, develop research skills and technological literacy, exercise responsibility and professionalism with moral and ethical excellence according to the Judeo-Christian tradition, and learn to make spiritual, intellectual, and emotional application of material in your personal life and in society.

The Bachelor of Arts degree in English provides a well-rounded liberal arts background to help students realize a variety of career goals. Just a few of these include teacher, writer, publisher, broadcaster, language tutor, librarian, linguist, journalist, editor, multi-media programmer, public relations specialist, and positions in allied fields throughout business and industry.

Our courses provide an understanding of the basic tools of language:
rhetoric,
composition, and
grammar.

These may be applied to the critical analysis of literature as well as studies in effective communication through journalism and technical and creative writing.

Enjoyment of good literature is an essential part of our program. Students become acquainted with writings of significant English, American, and world authors.

Students of English can also work toward a teaching certificate in secondary education through LeTourneau’s Teacher Education program . And students pursuing careers in education or law will find that a degree in English from LeTourneau University is an excellent entrée into graduate school.

The Department of English offers an excellent three- and four- year degree program in English Literature, combining courses in British, Canadian, and American Literature, as well as offering a taste of worldwide literatures. The Department has integrated these more traditional literary studies with a parallel option in Rhetoric and Media Studies, which allows students to develop related technical and professional talents. .

There is much crossover between the two options, and students can also take either of the two options–ELIT or ERMS–in combination with another discipline outside of English for a Combined Concentration. The Department of English also offers special interest courses in Women’s Writing, Creative Writing, and Popular Literature and Culture, among others. Many of our students obtain substantial success in various professional programs, graduate studies, and, especially, teaching. Our integrated, diverse program aims as well to prepare students for the increasing range of careers which require skills combining writing proficiency and a humanities-based education with technical expertise. The English department also helps to support an interdisciplinary M. A. degree in the Humanities at Laurentian.

The Department of English offers courses central to liberal arts education, not only for English majors but also for other students who wish to enrich their understanding of literature and language and to develop their skills as readers and writers. These are skills essential to leading constructive and imaginative lives. They also provide preparation for careers in law, teaching, publishing, advertising, communications, business—for any work that requires the ability to read, to write, and to think well.

The department provides a range of courses for all students in the College. Writing courses include English 100, 231, 235, 242, 330, 332, 360, and 361 (some writing courses require the submission of a writing sample to the instructor). Literature courses designed for first-year students include English 110 (designed for first-year students and prospective majors) and many 200-level courses. With the exception of 100 and First-Year Studies, all English courses are open to upperclass students of all majors.
