Program Overview
The Department offers four different emphases for its majors: literature, writing, applied communications, and English secondary education. All emphases cultivate the student's ability to write in a variety of genres for different audiences and purposes. The Department also offers students a variety of internships, and a 3-3 program in legal studies with Duquesne University, and features student-run publications such as the Gannon Knight (the University newspaper) and Totem (a literary magazine). Whether they seek careers in education, publishing, journalism, media, public relations, government, business, industry or law, Gannon English Majors acquire the scholarly focus, broad preparation and intellectual awareness that form the basis of an intensive liberal arts education.
