Welcome to The University of South Dakota Department of English.

With its focus on critical thinking and clear communication, a degree in English provides you with excellent preparation for any career. Besides, what other discipline can offer the guilty pleasures of reading novels, writing poems or thought-provoking essays, and arguing passionately on the question of "What is literature?" All of these activities lead to students becoming stronger writers and thinkers.

U. English grads are especially adept at distilling meaning from complex situations and texts. You'll find them constructing concise written and spoken material for print and broadcast media; developing creative and effective approaches to teaching and learning in education; and writing and disseminating policy in government. In fact, you'll find English grads working in nearly every field imaginable.
