Department of English

Welcome to the English Department

There’s never been a better time to pursue a degree in English or English Writing, Rhetoric, and Technology.

The internet has made us all writers and readers, and language-based content is being produced at a higher rate than ever in human history. Expertise in language, rhetoric, and narrative-making has never had more value.

Indeed, English majors’ mid-career salaries are in line with those of Biology, Geography, and Nursing majors and higher than those of Criminal Justice, Psychology, and Health Care Administration majors. Our alumni are writers, lawyers, content editors, podcast producers, marketers, grant writers, communications specialists, teachers, and professors.


Departmental Latin Honors

As we near the end of spring semester, the English Department encourages their undergraduates to pursue Latin honors with their English degree. The application process is easy, and we’d be happy to answer any questions that students might have. 

Please reach out to Teague Bohlen (teague.bohlen@ucdenver.edu) in the next few weeks if interested. Teague Bohlen would be happy to answer questions and assist in the development of a project. There is still plenty of time to apply. You can find the guidelines for pursuing honors at the following website: https://clas.ucdenver.edu/english/latin-honors.
