Welcome to the Department of English!

 

The discipline known as "English" embraces a wide range of interests: from literature written in the English language in the British Isles and America to the creation of literature to the formal study of language, composition, and rhetoric. The Department of English welcomes students who have interests in all of these areas and offers preparation for graduate study and professional employment in a variety of areas where the close examination of written texts is important. Students who major in English may find employment not only as professors, scholars, literary critics, and teachers, but as public relations representatives, lawyers, politicians, bankers, technical writers, poets, novelists, journalists---the possibilities are virtually endless.

The Department of English is located in 250 Bancroft (phone 803/323-2171; fax 803/323-4837). The office is generally open from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays. The department chair is Dr. Gloria Jones, and the administrative assistant is Ms. Cheryl Hingle. More information is also available from the College of Arts and Sciences homepage.
