The English Program at Juniata College offers the opportunity to tailor your studies
to your own personal interests in literature and writing. Students will engage in
a contemporary and innovative curriculum where they may analyze film, read graphic
novels, and develop content for social media.
Through a wide range of classes, students explore the complexities of race, gender,
and culture, ultimately challenging their worldview. As they develop the tools to
voice their opinions and share their analysis, they may also work one-on-one with
a professor to complete a capstone project tailored to their interests, either a creative
writing project or academic thesis.
