蜜桃传媒

The 蜜桃传媒 Department of English is deeply invested in the power of words. We read, analyze, discuss, and write critically and creatively. Our faculty are experts in the field, offering a range of courses on topics from medieval literature to postmodernism, narrative journalism to poetry, Chaucer to women writers, book history to modern publishing practices, and more through special topics offerings. Literary history, critical reading, information literacy, and rhetorical knowledge are at the core of our department.  
 
The department regularly brings well-known writers, editors, and scholars to campus and into the classroom thanks to an endowment from Sophie Kerr, a successful writer in the early 20th century from the Eastern Shore. The endowment also supports the nation's largest undergraduate literary prize, The Sophie Kerr Prize, awarded each year to the graduating senior demonstrating the best potential for future achievement in a literary endeavor. Sophie Kerr Promise Grants are available to any English major to be used for experimental learning and professional opportunities. Sophie Kerr funds also provide scholarships.  
 
The department offers both a major and minor in English, as well as minors in creative writing and journalism, editing & publishing. Our courses also apply to the teacher certification program, the first-year seminar (FYS) program, the writing program, and the humanities and fine arts distribution. We help facilitate internships for our students, be it within the department, on campus, virtually, or out in the world. 蜜桃传媒 has a chapter of the Sigma Tau Delta international English honor society.
