About the Lycoming College English Department:
The English Department at Lycoming College currently consists of eight full-time faculty members, all of whom have published extensively. It sponsors both an international and student-run journal, as well as a vibrant reading series. The Literature track in the English major seeks to introduce students to the breadth of English literature from Britain to America and around the world. In doing so, it aims to introduce students to works and authors both canonical and previously marginalized. Faculty in the Literature track work closely with students, helping them to hone their critical reading and writing skills, and affording them opportunities to present their work to the wider community.
Founded in 1812, Lycoming College is one of the nation's oldest and most respected liberal arts colleges. Today, our community of 1,200 active learners from 31 states and territories and 15 countries comprises a student body that is 35 percent domestic students of color or international, all of whom work with our renowned scholars to craft customized combinations of market-driven majors, minors and concentrations across our 40+ academic programs. Students compete in 19 NCAA Division III sports, participate in faculty-driven research, thrive in a robust program of internship experiences, and study abroad in more than two dozen countries. Lycoming College has one of the highest endowment-per-student ratios in the country. The institution is a member of the Annapolis Group of Liberal Arts Colleges and is recognized by The Princeton Review as one of The 388 Best Colleges. Lycoming College is dedicated to providing a high-quality liberal arts and sciences education for all students. Learn more at http://www.lycoming.edu.
