The English major offers students the opportunity to think critically about a wide variety of literary, popular, and scholarly texts; to understand the historical and cultural contexts in which these texts are produced, disseminated, and received; and to compose critical, scholarly, and creative texts of their own. In addition to developing an understanding of important works of American and British literature from the eighth century through the present, English majors at Ohio State University Mansfield consider film, television, pop culture, and the connection of creative expression to deep social issues. Our faculty and advisors are always available to discuss students’ career goals and provide information and guidance.
