Department of English

Welcome to the Department of English

Our flexible programs are culturally diverse, socially relevant, and the perfect springboard for a rewarding career.

Our department embraces the disciplinary diversity of English studies: you have the opportunity to pursue your passion for a wide variety of literatures, creative writing, professional writing, rhetoric and composition, linguistics, and film and media. You can complete your program fully online, in person, or through a combination of the two modes.

MSU Denver English majors acquire higher-level communication and digital technology skills, and they develop the deep cultural understanding and sensitivity that is necessary for socially responsible research, research that results in insightful analyses and evidence-based conclusions. We train our English majors to be intellectually flexible, able to independently develop new skills and competencies, and understand how to adjust and transfer their skills from one context to another.
