Sauer Nancy Stahl Lynne Stallings J. J. Stenzoski Scott Weeden Anne C. Williams Wanda Worley The Department of English offers introductory and advanced instruction in the methods and traditions of literary analysis, writing, and language study. Its programs are in five areas: linguistics, literature, writing, creative writing, and film studies. The department administers programs in American Sign Language/English Interpreting and English as a Second Language. The Department of English and the Department of Communication Studies are working to create a program in theatre, film, and media arts. Through its courses and other activities in linguistics, writing, creative writing, film, and literature, the Department of English works to create and sustain evolving communities of learners interested in the contributions of language to what has been called the examined life-a thoughtful, morally aware, and civically and personally responsible existence. Faculty and students aim for excellence in analyzing, understanding, and communicating about language and its beauties. For more information, visit the English department's Web site. Contact the department office (274-2258, english@iupui.edu) with messages, questions, and announcements, or to subscribe to the department's email list for announcements and news.

Each concentration requires 33 credit hours in English with a minimum grade of C in each course. All English majors must complete at least 15 hours in English at the 300-400 level. Each concentration (except Individualized Studies) begins with a gateway course that may be used to fill distribution requirements in other concentrations.

Master of Arts DegreeThe graduate English program has been designed to prepare students for careers in the analysis and production of texts. The program covers issues and skills in reading and writing, in the richest sense of these words-in order to prepare students to address these issues and to teach these skills. Graduates of the program should be prepared for such careers as teaching writing and literature, teaching English as a second language, and writing for business, government, and other professions. In contrast to traditional M.A. programs, which place heavy emphasis on literary history, the IUPUI program focuses on the application of English studies to contemporary situations and problems.
