English – Literature Emphasis BA

The diverse course offerings in the English program at Randolph College engage students in the study of character, human desire, and relationship, in topics ranging from Shakespeare, to literature inspired by the sea, to writing fiction.

It is a wealth of variety!

In such courses, students will grapple with the most prescient of concerns across cultures, across history, and across the varied worldviews of writers whose words have shaped centuries of thinking.

We are a department of enthusiastic readers and writers.

We are a home for future authors, editors, journalists, teachers, and bookworms.

We believe English majors leave Randolph College prepared to enter the workforce as clear communicators and adept critical thinkers—skills that transcend any given trend in the job market.
