Fall 2012 Course Descriptions

Welcome to the Department of English

The English Department at the University of Wyoming prides itself on providing a diverse and exciting educational experience to students from all over the country.  Nestled between mountain ranges, students can enjoy a rigorous curriculum in an incomparable natural setting.  

Our mission is to sustain and promote intellectual inquiry and cultural literacy, through teaching and research in English and American literature and in other textual and language studies. We offer a variety of courses in literature, film, popular culture, composition, ESL, professional writing, and creative writing. We are committed to teaching writing at all levels, including poetry, fiction, and non-fiction. We teach appreciation and mastery of the English language in courses such as composition, technical and business writing, English as a second language, linguistics, and writing for teachers. Both the written research of faculty and the writing of students are central to our mission to promote inquiry and sustain literacy.

Our faculty includes award-winning, cutting-edge teachers, researchers, and authors. We offer students of English diverse perspectives, encourage research in areas of personal interest, and teach communications skills as an integral part of critical inquiry.  For a more comprehensive look at our department goals, we encourage you to read our Mission Statement.
