Welcome

The study of English at Indiana State University cultivates a critical understanding and appreciation of literary works of all ages and cultures; develops an understanding of language and its functions in society; and enhances skill in writing, both practical and artistic. Undergraduate work in English prepares students for teaching, administrative, and writing-related careers in education, business, industry, and government. The study of English also is an excellent preprofessional major for students considering graduate or professional studies in the humanities, law, or business.
