Declaring the major in English begins with an intake meeting where an English Faculty member helps chart a path through the major based on student goals and introduces students to the rich culture of student groups in the department. Undergraduates can take part in at least two St. Louis Seminars each year where topic classes are offered in poetry and other genre in a seminar style small class experience specifically for advanced undergraduates. The Writing Associates Program offers both volunteer/internship possibilities and tutoring opportunities, and students may also receive tutoring by registering for the one-credit course, WR 195 Writing Tutorial.

Why study English? What’s required to earn a degree? It's all summarized in our major map.
