English majors have myriad ways to become involved in campus life at CNU. The department sponsors a national honor society (Sigma Tau Delta), a top-shelf literary magazine (Currents), and an undergraduate web journal of creative nonfiction (Lookout) a professionally edited, online magazine. The department is home to a local chapter of Virginia Teachers of English (VATE). We also host a variety of casual seminars and readings throughout the school year, in which students and faculty members come together to discuss their latest research.

English Department professors supervise the University Writing Center, the Women's and Gender Studies program, the Childhood Studies and Film Studies minors, and the campus newspaper, the Captain's Log. Internships in public relations, journalism, and business, as well as career forums help prepare our majors for rewarding lives after college. Recent graduates have successfully pursued careers in journalism, law, photojournalism, public relations, publishing, and teaching; many have gone on to graduate school. We are a small, closely-knit group in the English Department, and we get to know our students well. Join us today!
