Department of English

The aim of the Department of English is to promote the knowledge and appreciation of literature, to introduce the basic concepts of rhetoric and argumentation, and to help students master principles of effective writing. In addition, the department helps majors and minors to prepare for careers in teaching or other fields and provides the foundation needed for graduate study. Creative writing is encouraged by the opportunity to contribute to and produce the University literary magazine, The Baylorian. Students may also participate in the production of a professional literary journal Windhover: A Journal of Christian Literature and in the annual Writers' Festival each January.
