Every culture defines itself partly through its language. Every culture possesses a fund of stories, poems, traditions, and sayings which help to construct its sense of the world. Educated people everywhere are recognized through their ability to use language well. Our lives — professional, personal, and artistic — are enriched by our powers to speak and write as we would wish. The Department of English is devoted to the arts and skills of language.
The department serves UNF’s students through training and education in English and a range of foreign languages. Recognizing the centrality of writing skills to an educated citizenry, the department seeks to enhance its own expertise in the teaching of writing, to develop links between the Department’s composition courses and the remaining General Education curriculum, and to assist faculty in other
departments as they, too, seek to teach writing.
Advanced study in English usually concerns the history, modes, contexts, and accomplishments of the linguistic arts. The department’s courses often involve the reading of a culture through its literary products. Film and drama, as forms of story, fall within the department’s range, as do literature in general, both oral and written, and linguistics. The English faculty actively advance knowledge in the department’s domain.
The Department of English offers courses in American, British, Irish, and world literature, creative and expository writing, and linguistics.
The department offers the B.A. in English and the M.A. in English. Minors are offered in film studies, drama and English. Two tracks lead to the B.A. in English: the basic major and the drama track. For those who major in English in the College of Education and Human Services, the Department offers courses toward certification at the secondary level.
Associated Programs and Minors The department
offers minors in English, film studies and drama. Minors usually require 15 hours, including a minimum of 9 hours at UNF.
General PoliciesStudents who come to UNF without the prerequisite courses may take such courses here or elsewhere. Students may receive major credit for a total of no more than six (6) hours in workshops, practicums, and internships.
