We are constantly striving to keep our curriculum up to date and relevant to students' needs. Whether you are interested in web design, technical writing, magazine editing, language variety in the South, children's literature, the graphic novel, teaching English around the world, the teaching of writing, or becoming a creative writer yourself, our department can accommodate your aspirations.

With fifty full-time faculty offering dozens of undergraduate and graduate courses in such areas as Applied Linguistics, Composition Studies, Creative Writing, Literature, and Professional Writing, and a well-established work-study program in the Czech Republic, we have something for everyone. You will also find us student-friendly and welcoming, whether you want to pursue a B.A., an M.A., an M.F.A., or a Ph.D.

Our faculty and students are actively involved in projects and programs that span the world. As just one example, Professor Richard Bausch, holder of the Moss Chair of Excellence, has just won the 2009 Dayton Literary Peace Prize for his novel Peace.
