Rider鈥檚 B.A. in English helps students develop marketable skills in language, writing, analysis and critical thinking. Students can focus their studies in the literature track or the writing track. Both concentrations offer substantial grounding in the rich heritage of world literature and in the cultural diversity of contemporary life. Additionally, there is a cinema studies track for undergraduates who wish to concentrate on film analysis.
The English curriculum will develop your creativity and skills in language, writing, analysis and critical thinking in literature and writing courses.
Choose to concentrate your studies in either English Literature, Cinema Studies or Writing.
English can be a preparation for the many professions and vocations that emphasize imagination, sensitivity, analytical skills and writing abilities. Rider English majors have been hired by such businesses and government organizations as the ICT Group, NFL Films, Bristol Myers-Squibb, International School Services, Anderson Consulting, Hastings Healthcare Group and the Mayor鈥檚 Commission on Literacy in Philadelphia.
