English is the study of the history and literature of this complex, global language.

We head into Manhattan to famous literary hotspots like the 92nd Street Y to see readings and lectures. And we bring amazing guest writers to Drew to talk with students about writing and publishing. Networking leads to opportunities. Our students go on to a wide variety of successes. Some head for grad school in English, or to creative writing MFA programs. Others go into law, teaching, digital media or international nongovernment organizations around the globe. As an English major from a strong liberal arts school you graduate knowing how to read, write and think. These critical evaluation and communication skills are valued by all employers in the global marketplace.
