English

With an English degree you will develop adaptable skills: effective researching, thinking critically, articulating ideas clearly and persuasively and telling stories that pull together large amounts of information quickly and accurately. Studies have shown over and over that these are precisely the qualities employers look for in the people they hire.

Teach, create, prepare for professional careers, understand language itself or expand your professional options with a master’s program. 

English is part of the Department of Humanities at St. Cloud State University, which also includes History, Languages and Cultures, and Philosophy. The Department of Humanities brings together disciplines dedicated to the study of human experience, culture, and thought.

In English, we explore how language and literature engage the imagination and shape understanding and connection across time and communities. Through reading, writing, and critical inquiry, we cultivate empathy, creativity, and intellectual curiosity, all essential for meaningful participation in society.
