English Department

The English Department at The University of Memphis offers an exciting and varied set of courses and degree programs designed to help students fulfill their intellectual and career desires. We are constantly striving to keep our curriculum up to date and relevant to students' needs. Whether you are interested in web design, technical writing, magazine editing, language variety in the South, children's literature, the graphic novel, the teaching of writing, or becoming a creative writer yourself, our department can accommodate your aspirations.

With fifty full-time faculty offering dozens of undergraduate and graduate courses in such areas as Applied Linguistics, Composition Studies, Creative Writing, Literature, and Professional Writing, and a well-established work-study program in the Czech Republic, we have something for everyone. You will also find us student-friendly and welcoming, whether you want to pursue a B.A., an M.A., an M.F.A., or a Ph.D. In the fall of 2005, we welcomed the acclaimed fiction writer Richard Bausch in the Moss Chair of Excellence. So take some time to browse through our web site. If you don't find what you are looking for here, please call us at 901-678-2651, and we will do everything that we can to accommodate you.
