Department of English
In the Department of English, we prepare writers, thinkers, and leaders for careers in media, technology, law, education, and so much more. We teach students how to think critically and how to communicate effectively in a diverse and evolving world. Our programs go beyond traditional literature and writing to include hands-on experience with digital storytelling, multimedia composition, and research in areas like digital humanities and artificial intelligence.
N.C. A&T’s Department of English offers an undergraduate major and minor and one graduate degree (M.A.) in English and African American Literature. The department also offers an online Post-Baccalaureate Certificate (Graduate Certificate) in Technical and Professional Communication (TPC). Students working towards a B.A. in English take a core of ten classes and then choose an area of concentration in African-American Literature, Creative Writing, English Literature, or Technical and Professional Writing. Our dedicated faculty teach courses that cover both classic and modern topics, such as literature, film, science fiction, and hip-hop culture, all with the goal of helping students grow as confident thinkers, strong communicators, and future leaders.
Please call or email us for more information. We invite you to meet with our department advisors to find out more about what an English degree at North Carolina A&T State University can do for you. We would love to talk to you!
