English and Languages Department

Students in the English and languages department will explore and discuss writers and texts from a range of literary periods and genres, understand connections between works and their cultural and historical context, and improve research and expository skills. While studying at a Christian college, students will have a unique opportunity to study writers and their works with faculty who respect the biblical perspective and apply biblical principles to the analysis of those works.

Students will also learn fundamental techniques of literary analysis which will improve their own understanding of biblical texts. The English and languages department helps students develop the critical thinking skills and values needed for careers in public relations, education, business, publishing, editing, law and other graduate studies.
