English at Hanover College invites students to explore literature, language, and writing as powerful tools for both critical inquiry and creative expression. Whether pursuing the Literary Studies or Creative Writing track, students engage deeply with diverse texts and develop their abilities to think analytically and write with clarity and purpose. Courses span multiple eras while offering students the chance to study poetry, fiction, drama, and digital media. Through seminar discussions, workshops, and self-directed study, students refine their skills in interpretation, analysis, and storytelling, ultimately preparing them for careers in education, publishing, law, and other fields that value strong communication abilities.
