Credentialing Statement:
While most faculty members have the Ph.D. in English, the multi-disciplinary demands of our curriculum allow us to embrace some holders of degrees in allied fields. Our undergraduate and graduate creative writing programs include faculty with the M.F.A. degree; and our Rhetoric and Composition program, which includes an emphasis on pedagogy and the act of writing, admits holders of the doctorate in English Education. Holders of the doctorate in a foreign language such as French benefit the program at both the graduate and undergraduate level by participating in the teaching of multi-cultural literature courses and of continental backgrounds to English literature.
