Welcome to UAH's Department of English!

As an English major, your academic career is about more than just the destination. It’s about the journey you take to get there...

Our small, discussion-based classes encourage you to travel back in time with Chaucer’s pilgrims, explore the India of Jhumpa Lahiri, tour the Southern back roads of William Faulkner, Alice Walker, and Flannery O’Connor, and take in the Martian vistas of Asimov and Bradbury. And along the way? You'll gain the skills essential to professional success in any field, whether it’s how to think critically and analytically or how to communicate clearly and effectively.

It all adds up to a well-rounded education that will not only satisfy your intellectual curiosity but also take you where you want to go. Your journey awaits!
