Program Overview
Required courses and electives, combined with research projects and your own creative endeavors, will allow you to examine the complex relationships between text, author, and reader, and find your voice. You will develop critical thinking, writing, and communication skills necessary for success in any career, and you will apply these skills in a wide range of exciting internship settings such as publishing houses, colleges and universities, newspapers, libraries, museums, law firms, and corporations—essentially "trying out" different careers before you graduate.
There are three areas of concentration within the English degree program:
Creative Writing Concentration
Literature and Language Concentration
English: Secondary Education Teacher Licensure Concentration
Beyond the Classroom
Outside of class, students participate in the student-run Endicott Review, which publishes and promotes student writing; the Endicott Observer, the College's newspaper; and activities sponsored by the College's chapter of Sigma Tau Delta, the international English honor society. Majors may also get hands-on experience working with the Ibbetson Street Press, a well-established literary press in the Boston area with which Endicott is formally affiliated.
