B.A. in English: Writing

Exuberant. Cathartic. Depressing. Uplifting. Inspiring. Writing is all this—and so much more. With a bachelor of arts in English with a writing concentration, you’ll learn how to express yourself creatively as you discover the principles of writing and rhetoric and apply your skills to works of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. Let your inner Austen or Tolkien shine.
