Welcome to the English & Creative Writing major for the twenty-first century.
You will hone the skills you need to navigate – and shape – a complex and rapidly changing world. Our students engage a variety of literary, cultural, visual, and historical texts that inform who, what, and where we are today. You will work with traditional literary texts alongside new and emerging media to develop your writing, speaking, interpersonal, and research skills, in order to thrive in dynamic environments at Ursinus and after graduation.
