Welcome to the English & Creative Writing major for the twenty-first century.
You will hone the skills you need to navigate – and shape – a complex and rapidly changing world. Our students engage a variety of literary, cultural, visual, and historical texts that inform who, what, and where we are today. You will work with traditional literary texts alongside new and emerging media to develop your writing, speaking, interpersonal, and research skills, in order to thrive in dynamic environments at Ursinus and after graduation.
Employers crave critical thinkers with communication skills
Employers crave the critical thinking, writing, and communication skills our graduates possess, but the journey begins long before graduation. Embrace the freedom to think creatively, whether independently or collaboratively, expanding your worldview along the way. Here, you’ll experiment with diverse writing and speaking methods, crafting your unique voice across various platforms. Beyond graduation, a myriad of opportunities await, from prestigious graduate programs to specialized career paths in fields like medicine, law and more.
