Please reference the Undergraduate Catalog for course requirements specific to the English Department major and minors.
- The Department of English help students hone their critical thinking and writing skills in ways both creative and practical.
- Students apply these skills in courses and in writing for The Bulletin and other campus publications, tutoring in the Writing Center, and presenting their work at conferences.
- Because we believe that effective writing is essential for professional, personal, and intellectual development, the English Department offers a Writing Concentration and directs the operation of a Writing Center open to the Gonzaga community.
