English

A major and a minor are offered in English. 

The English Department at Franklin Pierce University invites students to participate in the rich heritage of the written word. Our curriculum is grounded in the study of the great literature of the past, including Chaucer, Shakespeare, the English Romantics, and major figures in the American tradition. At the same time, it is open to new currents of expression: to the voices of Toni Morrison and Amy Tan, Salman Rushdie and Anne Rice; to the literatures of multicultural America, the postcolonial world, and popular culture.
