The overall mission of the English Department at Tusculum College is to promote literacy and expressive possibility. At the center of our discipline is the ability to read, write, and think critically and imaginatively, a complex set of skills that can be productively applied to a wide range of academic, professional, and civic-minded pursuits. The Department aims to produce literate individuals who can gather, analyze, and communicate information effectively, while thinking creatively and reaching independent conclusions. The Department promotes these goals through scholarship and instruction in all areas of literatures written or translated in English and the production and reception of a variety of texts, including academic, professional, and creative writing. These goals form connections through the Department’s wide range of programs and interests: from our contributions to general education, where students are introduced to the skills of critical reading, writing, and thinking, to the undergraduate major, where the focus includes exploration of individual, gender, ethnic, and cultural diversity through study of literature and language, an appreciation of the aesthetic aspects of language and literary genres and forms, and the development of logical, creative, and critical thinking skills through analysis, criticism, and written argument and expression.
