Announcements
Welcome to the new departmental site!
A welcome to the new site and an invitation to faculty to send any updated headshots/bios/CVs to website_feedback@hunter.cuny.edu.
Academics
Our students, who come from all over the world, take seminars that are intimate and participatory, usually with fewer than twenty-five students. The department serves the college by offering Expository Writing, Introduction to Writing about Literature and other courses that fulfill Hunter's core curriculum. Upper-level English department classes develop students' interpretation and critical thinking and writing skills, and help prepare them for graduate studies in English and related fields in the humanities, as well as careers in the fields of media, law, education, journalism, politics, and others in which open-mindedness, empathy, intellectual rigor and clarity of expression are valued.
