The department enrolls over 250 undergraduate majors and minors in creative writing, literature and language, and rhetoric and writing studies, and over 50 graduate students in master’s and doctoral programs in creative writing and literature and language. It is also home to the Gwen Frostic Reading Series and Third Coast Magazine.

The College: Housing 23 academic departments, schools, and institutes that enroll nearly 3,000 undergraduate students and 700 graduate students, the College of Arts and Sciences represents the foundation of learning and the academic heart of WMU. The College is committed to fostering a community of diverse, inclusive, equitable, and globally engaged scholars, learners, and leaders, and it seeks candidates who can contribute to the College’s distinctive educational objectives, which promote interdisciplinary perspectives, intercultural understanding, and concern with social responsibility and the ethical implications of knowledge and action.

WMU delivers high-quality undergraduate instruction, has a strong graduate division, and fosters significant research activities. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching classifies WMU as a doctoral university and one of just 185 public universities in the nation conducting research at a high level. WMU recently received a $550 million endowed, multi-year Empowering Futures Gift, which will fund many projects and initiatives that aim to break down the barriers created by historic inequities.
