As a research-driven, student-centered Department, KSU's Department of English promotes the study of what is unique regarding human expression to empower students to understand who they are and how they should live, while also helping students cultivate and articulate skillsets that will enable them to thrive in viable career pathways. The Department houses four degrees, English (BA), English Education (BS), Interactive Design (BS), and Professional Writing (MA), that honor humanistic traditions while teaching students to make a range of contributions to professional and civic life. Additionally, the Department is home to core programs in First-Year Composition and General Education Literature, essential areas to KSU's undergraduate student success ecosystem. The students we serve are fully representative of the communities we serve in the metropolitan area and region, and we embrace high-impact practices such as mentored research, community-engaged learning, and internships in order to support their ability to succeed. The faculty, who pursue multifaceted research and creative endeavors, elevate KSU's profile, impacting both local and global communities.
