BS English

Program overview

BS English provides a comprehensive and interdisciplinary understanding of the English language, literature, and linguistics in both historical and contemporary contexts. Throughout the program, students will engage with a broad spectrum of literary texts, linguistic theories, and communicative practices to develop a critical awareness of language, culture, identity, and meaning-making. The curriculum is designed to equip students with foundational and advanced knowledge in English Literature and English Linguistics, supported by core and elective courses that reflect global trends, local relevance, and emerging fields such as digital humanities, discourse studies, and language technology. Students will learn to analyze texts, investigate language structure and use, and explore the socio-political and philosophical dimensions of literature and language. As a policy requirement, the program includes a capstone project that allows students to apply their disciplinary and interdisciplinary learning to real-world linguistic, literary, or cultural questions. The main goal of this program is to prepare students for diverse career paths in academia, education, research, publishing, media, cultural institutions, and language-related industries. Graduates of BS English will possess strong analytical and interpretive abilities, advanced communication and writing skills, and a critical understanding of how language and literature shape and are shaped by societies across time and space.
