English
The English major is the newest degree offering at Voorhees College,
and it brings with it a cutting-edge approach you won't find in many
other English programs. At Voorhees, you won't study just the literary
work—you'll also examine the cultural context that influenced the
piece. You'll analyze diverse ideas and viewpoints, which will help you
develop critical insight you'll need for understanding complex
situations both in your professional and personal life. You'll learn to
write critically, and you'll study a foreign language in greater depth,
which will foster an appreciation for diversity and other cultures.
When you graduate, you'll be well-prepared for a career in academia or
in any of a number of other fields where critical thinking and analysis
are crucial. You'll also be able to pursue an advanced degree.
