我们系在教学、奖学金和对大学和社区的服务方面有着悠久的优良传统，多年来我们获得了众多奖项。

英语系为皇冠体育学生提供各种各样的活动和机会。 For example, we have a Sigma Tau Delta chapter (English honor Society), SAGES (Student Association of Graduate English Scholars), visiting poets and novelists, open mic events for students to present their work, Haas Writing Awards for student writers, workshops, and The Windward Review, a literary and arts publication for student and faculty creative writing.  The Department also sponsors an annual summer Young Authors' Camp for middle school students, a University Authors's Day, which brings high school students together with English faculty and students for workshops with a published writer, and the Coastal Bend Writing  Project, an organization for local teachers that promotes quality writing instruction in schools.

在本科阶段，英语专业的学生将选择文学研究或写作研究作为重点。 文学研究的重点是为学生提供在一系列历史和文化背景下解释和写作文本的技能，包括文学和电影。 写作研究的重点是让学生发展他们在各种情况下使用写作的能力和各种目的，并通过修辞学，读写和写作的研究，发展对写作在世界上如何运作的理解。 这两条轨道都赋予学生批判性思维和沟通能力，为他们走上各种不同的职业道路做好准备，包括法律、商业、教学和科学，以及研究生学习。

The undergraduate English program also offers curricula for secondary English certification, minors in 文学研究 and Creative Writing and certificates in Writing for Non-Profits and TESOL. It also participates in the interdisciplinary minors of Technical and Professional Writing and Women and Gender Studies (see descriptions under “Interdisciplinary Minors”). 

At the graduate level, our M.A. program offers  all candidates the opportunity to grow intellectually and creatively through the advanced study of language and literature.  该计划致力于追求卓越，及时了解该领域的最新发展，并将英语作为一门学习领域的综合概念。  

我们还为学生提供各种奖学金和助学金。
