English majors at Ozarks engage with the greatest authors and ideas from the rich traditions of American and British literature. Students learn to critically read and think about poetry, prose, and drama, and they are introduced to the primary research and theoretical approaches to that literature. Along the way, our majors explore all aspects of the life of the mind--in research at the library, poetry readings on campus, and literary discussions in the coffee house. In the tradition of a Liberal Arts education, our majors become great writers, thinkers, communicators, and problem solvers.
