Through the study of literature, the English Program at Saint Michael's seeks to stimulate aesthetic awareness, elevate critical thought, promote clear writing, and encourage communal reflection on the complex ways language animates our lives. The program's eclectic offerings serve students across the College in addition to English majors and minors. Collectively, English students and faculty work to model intellectual curiosity and foster the sense of wonder that is the driving force behind a vibrant, creative, "examined" life.
