The English Major at Madonna University is designed to develop in its students the ability to respond thoughtfully and analytically to literary texts, and to articulate those responses in appropriate forms of discourse (written, oral, electronic, and digital). Through the study of language, literature, and writing, students acquire a broad literary, cultural, and linguistic understanding of our increasingly complex, diverse, and technological world.

The English Major: it’s not only for teachers! Yes, the English Major at Madonna University prepares the next generation of elementary, secondary educators to instill an appreciation and love of diverse texts to their future students. But Madonna University’s program of study and English prepares students for careers in such fields as publishing, sales, and corporate communication, and can lay the groundwork for graduate study in English, Writing, Communication, Law, and Business.
