Department of English, Writing and Modern Languages

What do Mitt Romney, Sting, Kate Beckinsale, Matt Damon, Eugène Ionesco, Vin Diesel, Conan O'Brien, Harold Varmus, Mario Cuomo, Barbara Walters, Clarence Thomas, Steven Spielberg, Judy McGrath, and Michael Eisner all have in common? They are all very successful people who attribute their achievement to the training they received as majors in the English, Writing, and Modern Language Departments of their various universities. 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, graduates of Concordia University’s English, Writing, and Modern Language Department find satisfying jobs in such diverse fields as business, education, law, entertainment, publishing, politics, foreign service, and NGO/nonprofit work.

Students in the English, Writing and Modern Languages Department benefit from small class sizes and from one-on-one contact with faculty who care about them as individuals. When not in the classroom, you can write for the university newspaper or edit our literary publication, The Aerie.
