Welcome to the website of the English Department at Capital University! We hope you'll find what you're looking for in these pages—whether you're a current student, a prospective student, or just looking around.
The ability to read and write well is recognized as the mark of an educated person, so the English Department offers a wide variety of introductory and advanced courses in literature and writing. The study of literature and language is an investment in personal growth and an important part of a liberal arts education.
The department offers two majors—literature and professional writing—as well as minors in journalism, literature and creative writing. Students may choose to have dual majors or minors in combination with other disciplines. Education courses also may be combined with an English major, preparing students for secondary school teaching in integrated language arts.
