The Department of English
The Department of English endeavors to provide students with
- excellent written and verbal communication skills,
- an awareness of and respect for diverse ideas and
viewpoints,
- the ability to analyze and understand complex ideas
and texts,
- an ability to invent, draft, edit, and publish both
printed and electronic texts,
- a knowledge of the history of spoken language, written
literature, rhetoric, and communication technology,
- the ability to collaborate on complex research and
writing tasks.
Our graduates' most valuable skill may simply be their
ability to understand complex situations and to invent
innovative solutions to problems. Some of our undergraduates
go on to professional schools in law, medicine, or teaching.
Others craft careers for themselves in any number of
fields including business, banking, advertising, public
relations, and technical/professional writing.
Our graduate students go on to pursue similar careers
but their advanced degrees give them additional opportunities
for professional recognition and advancement. Some leave
UNC Charlotte in pursuit of Ph.D.s or to assume professional
writing, teaching, or administrative positions. Please take a few minutes to review our site and to
explore the range of programs and opportunities offered
through the English Department at UNC Charlotte. English Composition Credit by Exam
