In an increasingly complex and interconnected world, the demand for citizens who think critically, analyze carefully, and understand language, literature, and cultures has never been more crucial. The English Major, English Minor and Writing Minor at Gallaudet University are designed to meet this demand and foster a vibrant community of scholars who critically engage with reading and writing English in a variety of forms and in various approaches to text generation. Our dedicated faculty, composed of accomplished scholars and passionate educators, strive to foster an inclusive and supportive learning environment where diverse perspectives are celebrated, students are encouraged to pursue their unique academic interests, and community members can recognize the health and wellness benefits of reading and writing.
