英语 Program Jacksonville University
关于 Our Department
The 英语 department at JU is as diverse and inclusive as the discipline itself. Our program focuses on the study of language and 英语 & American literature, of course, but also allows students to supplement their studies with coursework in film, creative writing, young adult literature, the graphic novel, and other related ‘special 主题.’
Within our department, we have housed the Feast and Folly players who help bring Shakespeare to life; the Inklings who have sponsored events such as ‘Hogwarts Day’ on campus; the Aquarian which publishes an annual magazine of creative writing and visual art; and a Writing Center that employs 英语 majors to tutor students from across campus.
At JU, an 英语 degree does mean an advanced appreciation of language and literature, but it also goes beyond that. You can expect a curriculum that will improve your writing and reading skills, sharpen your critical and analytic thinking, , and allow you to refine your aesthetic sensibilities. It is no wonder that, according to Bloomberg Business Week, many hiring managers at top firms and investment banks prefer hiring Liberal Arts majors (like 英语!) to students trained only in general ‘business’ 项目.
