Introduction

Why pursue an English degree at North Central College?

The English department encourages and develops students’ potential as readers and writers, creators, and critics. With a shared goal of practicing and refining close-reading skills, together students and faculty explore the varied and changing worlds of fiction, essays, poetry, drama, film, and language itself. Students in English —thus solidly based in literature, writing, and language, cross borders of geography, history, and genre, creating and responding — on paper and on-screen -- to a variety of texts in verbal and visual modes. With the added experience in the department’s literary and humor magazines, college newspaper, focused independent studies, internships, and honor society, English students are well prepared for graduate work in many fields and for careers in business, teaching, and law.

You can also:

  • Earn an optional upper-level concentration in writing or literature.
  • Work toward your teaching license by also majoring in secondary education.
  • Gain practical experience in student-run publications (newspaper, humor magazine, journal of creative writing).
  • Join the Sigma Tau Delta English honor society and participate in nationwide undergraduate conferences and local social and service activities.
  • Combine English with other majors, such as political science or business, to prepare for graduate or law school or business careers.
  • Conduct independent research requiring travel or special resources, and present your results at local and national academic conferences with the support of a Richter Grant.
