About The Program

There is immense power in the written word. Texts have served as the foundation of nations. They've inspired revolts, sparked movements, and established unlikely unions. How, exactly, did seminal works inspire monumental acts? With an emphasis on critical thinking, analysis, and audience-appropriate writing, TUA's BA in English Language and Literature degree gives students what they need to help them investigate and harness the power of the written word. Students also gain essential communication and research skills that are prized by employers. Possible careers include professional writing, editing, publishing, marketing, law, communication, politics, and more
