Courses offered in English are designed to promote the effective use of oral and written English; to encourage selective and interpretative reading; to increase the capacity to understand and appreciate the classics, the humanities, and the fine arts; and to foster the development of personal philosophies based upon time-tested truths.

It is assumed that any student enrolling in any literature class will be able to demonstrate competent writing ability.

The program for students majoring in English is designed to afford a liberal education to meet the needs of teacher certification; to create a humane basis for careers in business, in the learned professions, or in government; and to prepare for graduate study.

Courses offered in philosophy are designed to provide students with the knowledge and logical skills to understand and critically evaluate the intellectual, moral, and religious choices they encounter.

The program for students majoring in philosophy seeks to provide the background necessary for those preparing for law school, seminary, and graduate school as well as for those who simply seek a liberal education as the foundation of a career in business or industry.
