The mission of the Department of English is to provide courses that foster clear writing and clear thinking and that stress social awareness, aesthetic appreciation, and intellectual growth. English lays the basis for self-expression, self-knowledge, communication and creative adaptation to the changing realities of life. Students and faculty further this development through a variety of service and scholarly activities.
The Department of English at The University of Tennessee at Martin offers work that applies toward the Bachelor of Arts degree with a major or minor in English and toward the Bachelor of Science degree with a minor in English. Each semester the department offers a variety of undergraduate courses in writing, literature, and language.
Today's world offers a wide range of career possibilities for English majors-not only in secondary and university teaching, but also in business, law, medicine, and all other fields where interpretive and writing skills are requisite. Many professional schools favor English majors, and employers are eager to find good technical writers, paralegals, and researchers. Collateral studies in religion, international relations, business, communications, education, or other disciplines may enhance the degree in English by broadening a student's range of educational or employment possibilities.
