Academics: School of Arts & Sciences

“The Language and Literature Department is awesome! You not only get a greater appreciation for the written word, but the faculty makes it come alive!”
– Brittany Bennett, graduating Language and Literature major

Whether it is prose, poetry or plays, achieving academic success requires a depth of understanding in the texts and lore of the great literary masters.

Studying how the masters express themselves with grace and intelligence will teach students to properly express themselves.

By reading history's greatest works of literature, students can learn:

• a variety of perspectives on different cultures and time periods
• the interaction of language with society and history
• to develop an appreciation of life, aesthetics and humane values

Though these attributes are difficult to measure, they are central to the mindset of the truly educated.

Learning the mastery of English and studying the subtle arts of Foreign Languages with Chowan University's Department of Language and Literature can give students truly worldly knowledge necessary to excel in academics today. Learning the arts of Drama and Communications, no matter what dialect is used, can really help you go places in today’s global society.

For poetry and prose or performing in plays, testing your Spanish in a Costa Rican café or your French along the Riviera, then Chowan University is the place for you!
