Bachelor of Arts in Professional Writing

Valparaiso University

With the chair’s approval, students may apply cooperative education toward fulfillment of this major. These courses help students to use the English language maturely and sensitively and to develop their capacities to enjoy and understand writing, language, and imaginative literature. The Valparaiso University English department offers a rich variety of approaches to the study of English language and literature, with undergraduate and master’s-level programs focusing on literary studies, writing, and teaching. This University-wide core strengthens communication and critical-thinking skills while introducing the student to global cultures and traditions. Majors in English literature must also complete either a minor in their chosen field of study, or the 40-credit (rather than the 33-credit) major in English.
