Program Overview

A bachelor’s degree and minor in English will prepare you to tackle critical and complex issues, deepen your understanding of diverse cultural issues, and improve your ability to analyze and produce complicated texts. We prepare our students for careers in writing and teaching, as well as professions requiring high levels of literacy and critical thought, including law and business.

The degree in English provides a foundation in literature, rhetoric, composition, and critical theory. In your courses, you will study text and writing that represents many cultures and historical periods and learn critical approaches to texts and issues that enable you to interpret and compare positions, to read closely, critically, and with empathy. You will gain skills by conducting your own research, weighing evidence, and writing with insight and expertise with guidance from our dedicated expert faculty.

We offer:

  • A flexible degree with electives that encourage exploration in writing, publishing, and literature
  • Hands-on experience through an internship advising course
  • Online, hybrid, and evening classes
  • Courses that work with our in-house literary magazine Portland Review, and our publishing imprint Ooligan Press
  • A degree option to pursue a greater emphasis in math and the sciences
