Bethany offers an outstanding degree which includes both literary analysis and creative writing in both poetry and prose.

In your literature classes, you will read a mix of classic texts and contemporary literature, engage in lively discussions with dedicated faculty, and evalutate literature from a variety of critical and philosophical viewpoints.

You will also have the opportunity to improve your writing skills in composition and creative writing classes, with teachers who encourage you to publish.

Mission Statement: The English Department of Bethany University supports the broader mission of the College by its commitment to producing excellence in writing, speaking, and literary skills and understanding.

Philosophy: The philosophy of the English Department is to keep the student as our primary concern. The education of the student in speech, writing, and literature is best served by a variety of learning experiences which encourage learning through various media. The English Department values the larger perspective of commitment to the study of humanities (specifically writing, speech, literature) as an integral part of the formation of Christian leadership. The department is committed also to standards of excellence stated or implied by the Modern Language Association and the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing.
