Through chosen electives, you can also create an English major with a drama or creative writing track. The creative writing track includes courses in writing poetry, short fiction, playwriting and creative nonfiction.
Small classes, lectures and seminars assure personal attention and encourage interactive group discussions in a collaborative environment. Creative writers participate in interactive workshops and are encouraged to publish original writing.
Elective internships are available in businesses requiring writing, editing and other English-related skills, such as:
As a student in the English program at NDMU, you will have support and guidance from faculty in pursuing opportunities to publish your writing. Our students regularly publish their creative work in outside publications.
You can also submit your work to Damozel, the NDMU English Department's annual creative literary magazine which features any form of creative writing, art, or photography from NDMU students and alum.
The department chapter of Sigma Tau Delta, The International Honor Society in English, plans theatre excursions, lectures, literature readings and service projects.
Our English major and minors are employed in business, education, law firms, publishing companies and government agencies. Many also go on to graduate school to pursue advanced degrees.
