Students
seeking lives and careers of accomplishment, distinction,
and personal satisfaction will value the academic rigor
as well as the vital skills training in writing and research
that studying English at BPC provides. Courses in
the English department, which include courses in academic
and creative writing and in American, English, and world
literatures, give students the opportunity to explore the
best insights and literary expressions their own and the
world's cultures have to offer, all in an atmosphere of
inquiry, enthusiasm, and creativity.
Reading, thinking, and written expression
are considered the fundamentals of a liberal arts education. As
students benefit from the pleasures of reading and writing,
they also develop the analytical and evaluative skills
that distinguish an education from mere job training. Employers
desire these skills because they are aware of how crucial
critical thinking and effective communication are in the
world today.
