English, BA

English at Greenville University

Explore the “literary life” and build professional and creative skills in a faith-based environment as you pursue a bachelor of arts in English. Prepare for global citizenship as a critical thinker, careful reader, arts advocate, and dedicated professional.

An English major will help you to interpret and synthesize complex information, communicate with competence and creativity, and employ versatile research and problem-solving skills.

Travel to lands only barely imagined. Dip your hand in poetry and short story writing, and maybe re-imagine a TV show. Act out scenes and engage with authors by re-imagining endings.
