B.A. in English

The study of literature is a noble and life-changing pursuit that explores what it means to be human. When properly undertaken, literary studies should lead you to pivotal sites like empathy, intellectual curiosity, a heightened apprehension of beauty, and a healthy re-evaluation of self. As an English major, you will be invited to develop critical-thinking skills as you ask questions like, “What is ‘literary’ text?” or “How do communities influence meaning-making?” With a B.A. in English from Multnomah University, you will be prepared for teaching, graduate school, or other pursuits that you will be able to confront thoughtfully and insightfully.
