English, Writing, and Modern Languages


The focus of the English Department is on language, on that unique human attribute that allows us to readwith insight, think with clarity, and write and speak with purpose. If you love a good story or enjoy encounteringnew people and new ideas, you are the kind of student we are looking for.

If you have any questions, we would love to hear from you.

Humanities Majors: Ready for Anything

What do George Clooney, William Shakespeare, Orson Welles, Martin Luther King Jr., and Isabel Allende all have in common? They are just five of the many brilliant communicators who are encountered by students in the Humanities, students majoring in English and Communication or minoring in Creative Writing and Spanish. Our focus is on language, on that unique human attribute that allows us to read with insight, think with clarity, and write and speak with purpose. With these skills, Concordia graduates in the Humanities find satisfying jobs in such diverse fields as education, publishing, public relations, and even missionary work!

Students in the Humanities benefit from small class sizes and from one-on-one contact with faculty who care about them as individuals. When not in the classroom, Humanities students can write for the university newspaper, broadcast over the university airwaves, or edit our literary publication, The Aerie.

If you are able to visit our beautiful campus, please ask your admissions counselor to set up an appointment with the Chair of the Humanities Division, Dr. Kerri Tom, who will be happy to answer all your questions about our program. Or write to her at kerri.tom@cui.edu.
