The Nyack College English major equips students to develop an appreciation for and facility with language, literature, creative expression and critical inquiry.  In pursuit of our mission, English majors study a diverse body of literature from around the world, past and present, develop competence in secondary research, and learn to communicate more effectively in the written word.

As you read the following pages, you will learn about some upcoming theatrical events scheduled for this year which include a production of Shakepeare’s Twelfth Night performed by the Elements Theatre traveling group and plans for a student production. In addition, on our Upcoming Events page, you will find information regarding our Fall Faculty Reading and opportunities for majors to attend the  Undergraduate Conference in Medieval and Early Modern Studies to be held at Moravian College in early December.

If you are a prospective student who is considering English as your major, minor, or area of concentration as an education major, we would love to speak with you.  We also welcome prospective students and their parents to visit our classes during a Visit Weekend or a convenient time.  To arrange a visit, please contact a member of Nyack's Office of Admissions for an application and more information.

The English major is offered at the Rockland campus and the Manhattan campus.
