Mission

The Department provides a broad liberal arts education for all students. Our courses emphasize reading, writing, and critical thinking as well as discovering and using information. Students who are majors in English, Foreign Languages, or Philosophy should learn to analyze written material with accuracy and understanding, to write clearly and correctly about a subject in a major field, to perform scholarly research on a topic in a major field in a format specific to the field, and to gain an understanding of a major field as it connects to the world at large.
