Welcome!

Welcome to the English Department at Webster University. Here you will find professors and students who cultivate creativity, actively appreciate the beauty and power of great writing, and consistently strive to connect art with life. Our classes are small and discussion-oriented, and students are individually mentored by their professors and advisors.

We offer three emphases within the English major:

We also offer minors in English and Drama Studies in London as well as a minor and certificate in professional writing.

Our students graduate with not only a substantial knowledge of literature and excellent writing abilities, but also the general critical reading, thinking, and communication skills necessary to make a mark on the world in whatever way they see fit.
