 In keeping with the centuries-long tradition of liberal arts education, the College is devoted to educating students to embrace their individual capacities for improving the world. These are the capacities for wisdom, beauty, love, reason, communication, self-awareness, and justice. Such capacities are foundational resources for life and for any career path.The College also endeavors to provide an educational environment that enhances communication and critical thinking skills, as well as ethical decision making. In an increasingly complex global culture, such skills are imperative for personal and societal success. Central to the educational mission of the College of Humanities is its Department of English. This department is proud to acknowledge that in 1932 Gordon B. Hinckley graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree from the department. In the 70 years since, hundreds of faculty have served in the Department and more than 5,000 students have received English degrees. Those graduates are now engaged in a wide variety of careers – business, education, journalism, law, medicine, and publishing, to name only the most common. The English Department continues to focus on its traditional core – the great works of British and American literature – and enhances this core by the inclusion of significant literary works and theories from other cultures and intellectual traditions.
