The English faculty at Lakeland know that reading can and should be an intense experience—one that combines a commitment to language, an eye for beauty and detail, an openness to new experience, and an analytically sharp mind.

The English Minor program prepares its students for careers in education, giving them an extensive knowledge of major writers and movements, and critical terms and techniques.

Students who have successfully completed a minor in English from Lakeland University should be able to:

• Read critically and closely, analyzing how texts and language create and affect meaning and our understanding of the world.
• Write convincing arguments that are logical, well supported, and professionally presented.
• Communicate their ideas with others in ways that are clear, respectful, and evidence-driven.
• Identify key literary techniques, figures, and movements across a diverse range of texts in English.
