Small class sizes and lifelong student-faculty mentorships
The Franklin College English program is differentiated by its small class sizes, which empower students to build personal relationships with their peers and lifelong mentorships with the department’s award-winning faculty. This approach fosters a close-knit community, giving students the freedom to express new ideas and examine the depths of their intellect and creativity. While faculty members share with students their expertise in, and enthusiasm for, literature in a variety of genres, periods and cultures, every English major investigates a topic of academic interest via independent research. Previous majors have presented their research at national literature conferences.
