Introduction
The English major at Doane University is designed to help students shape their passion for reading and writing in an academic course. Students develop their writing and communication skills, practice original research, and refine their critical thinking abilities - skills employers and graduate programs covet.
We designed the English program to give students the flexibility to determine which classes they want to take within set areas. The major requires fewer credits than many other majors, allowing students to explore elective and combine their English major with other majors it minors of interest to them.
Class sizes are small, ranging from five to twenty (5-20) students, and taught by full-time faculty. Because we are a small department, we have the opportunity to work closely with students. Faculty often lead students in several courses over their four years at Doane. By becoming familiar with students writing, and way of thinking, we can give targeted feedback on students' coursework and next steps for their professional plans; thanks to our close proximity to Lincoln and Omaha, we organize events for students to build upon the work we do in the classroom.
A degree in English makes students uniquely qualified for professional positions because of the skills developed through analyzing texts, conducting original research, and writing. Recent graduates of our English major have excelled in positions as teachers, social workers, and lab research technicians. Others have gone on to attend law school, graduate programs in writing and literature, or library science.
