English
In an age of constant communication—electronic, written, spoken and personal—success in today's world depends on a person's ability to understand and use language. This is precisely what an English major trains students to do. Through the study of literature and writing, the English program prepares students to communicate effectively, think creatively and live wisely in a diverse world.
English majors at USI have the opportunity to get involved in several student groups related to writing and literature and to gain experience through internships on campus and in the community. Additionally, students may complete internships with the Southern Indiana Review, a nationally-recognized journal that presents the work of emerging and established artists and writers and have their work published in one of USI's student publications.
The English degree program at the University of Southern Indiana offers students a choice of emphasis: creative writing, literature, professional writing and rhetoric, and English teaching.
