Welcome! We live in a world of words. The means of delivery has changed over the centuries from vellum manuscripts to paper books to pixels on a screen, but verbal language continues to be the primary means by which people everywhere share ideas. Knowing that the people who will lead and succeed in the future are those who can use language effectively, the Department of English and Theatre helps students become strong readers, writers, and speakers.

Do you have questions about the English or Theatre major? If you're considering a major or minor in English, theatre, writing, or speech, you've come to the right place! Check out our brochure about our undergraduate programs. If you've ever asked yourself "What can I do with a degree in ______?" the Career Center can answer that question for you (scroll down until you see English or Theatre). If you are already a major or minor in our department, the links to the right can provide you quick access to course schedules and degree checklists.

Are you considering graduate study in English? If you are thinking about graduate school options, please see the flyer for our Master's programs, or visit the program's home page.

Are you looking for your instructor? You can find professors' office and phone numbers, email addresses, and office hours on our Faculty and Staff page. This map of the Dial Building can help you locate a specific instructor's office.

Do you have questions about First Year Composition? Policies and information about the courses can be found on our Writing page.


Announcements and Events

The Fall 2011 edition of the department's newsletter, The Beacon, is now available on our News page. The students, faculty, and staff of English and Theatre have been busy this academic year, and we invite you to read about our accomplishments.

Congratulations to members of the English and Theatre faculty whose proposals for engaged learning projects were funded by Academic Affairs. Dr. Wendy Miller and Dr. Therese Rizzo were awarded a grant for their project "Space, Place, and History in the Literature of North Carolina"; Dr. Jesse Peters participated in a cross-departmental team of faculty and staff who were awarded a grant for their project "Southeastern American Indian Communities Digital Repository and Archive."

The department is pleased to announce that three English and Theatre students participated in the State of North Carolina Undergraduate Research and Creativity Symposium (SNCURCS) on Saturday, November 19th, on the campus of East Carolina University. Congratulations to Francis Bayog and Chang Lin (mentored by Dr. Karen Helgeson) and to Blake Davis (mentored by Dr. Susan Cannata).

Sigma Tau Delta, the English honor society, welcomed new members this fall, and elected officers for 2011-12. Congratulations to Tank Steiner, president; Brittany Glenn, vice-president; Blake Davis, secretary; and Talia Cihla, treasurer.

Sigma Tau Delta and English Club continue their joint fundraiser, partnered with the University Writing Center. You can support them by buying coffee and baked goods (made by the members) in the Writing Center during their regular hours. You can also support Sigma Tau Delta by putting books you no longer want into the green and white Better World Books drop boxes, located around the Dial Building. These donations support non-profit organizations that work toward global literacy.

English and Theatre majors and alums, don't forget to check out our page dedicated to fellowships and other opportunities.
