The Department of English and Foreign Languages strives to contribute to the liberal arts education of all students.  Through its English composition courses, the department seeks to ensure that all students develop effective written communication skills. Courses in English, French, and Spanish literature introduce students to different genres, stylistic periods, and methods of interpretation of literature. Bachelor of Arts degree programs are offered by the department in English Language and Literature and in Spanish. In conjunction with the School of Education, the department also offers teaching degrees in English Language and Literature and Spanish.

These programs prepare students to serve effectively as facilitators of learning. Minors are offered in English and Spanish. The liberal arts education provided by the department prepares students for a variety of career options: education, publishing, finance, politics, law, the performing arts, or any field in which effective communications skills are required.
Departmental resources include a Writing Center as part of the University College; a Computer Composition Laboratory, the Charles Waddell Chesnutt Library, Language Laboratory, and several student organizations.
