Why Study English at K?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Through small class sizes and close relationships with faculty, you will learn how to wield language, express yourself, and critically observe the human experience.<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an English major or minor<\/strong>, you will learn about the power of language. Throughout history, writers and readers have borne witness to the human situation and leveraged their voices to alter the course of society. At K, we aim to teach you how to become a witness in and for the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through the study of English literature across global and historical cultures, the study of film and critical theory, the discipline of writing in a variety of genres, and the constant practice of collaboration, you will be better prepared to understand the complexity of the world, yourself, and the ways words and images shape reality. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
