UMA’s B.A. in English is a liberal arts program designed to deepen your understanding and appreciation of literature.
In small classes, you will enjoy vibrant discussion, personal attention, and close working relationships with the English faculty, a community of scholars and writers dedicated to teaching.
In the process of reading, writing about, and discussing great works, you will develop the skills of analysis, collaboration, critical reasoning, and oral communication. These are skills many employers now prefer to specific career preparation, especially with the growing global market and the rise of the internet.
Special areas of study include Native American literature, the literature of war, medieval literature, gender studies, graphic novels, Holocaust literature, postcolonial and francophone literature, and creative and technical writing. We are always evolving, and so are you.
The English program at UMA is full of professors who are dedicated to the success and development of their students. Working with these faculty members has allowed me to explore my interests and discover new and exciting topics.
