The Department of English strives to foster the development of internationally‐minded graduates with a broad general education and deep, specialized knowledge so that they can contribute to global society.
To that end, it relies on a curriculum designed to foster advanced communication ability through the mastery of English‐language skills that will allow graduates to participate actively in international society.
Example fields of specialization include the culture and literature of the English‐speaking world, English and English education, and global communication.
Through study in specialized fields, students have opportunities to master skills that will allow them to understand other cultures, collect and analyze information, and communicate the results of that process to others.
In addition, the Department offers courses designed to help students shape their future careers (Global Career courses).
Through this curriculum, the Department seeks to prepare students to make a contribution while working with others toward solving the problems faced by international and regional society.
