Words, ideas, and stories have the power to shape the world. They dictate how we define our past, articulate our present, and innovate for our future. In short, they mold the very lives we live.
The Department of Literature, Journalism, Writing, & Languages (LJWL) provides you with the knowledge, skills, and experience necessary to create, understand, and interpret written expressions of the human experience in English and other world languages.
