Program Overview

The program in English and Writing is one of Southampton's best known. Full-time faculty include nationally distinguished authors such as essayist and television commentator Roger Rosenblatt and novelist Indira Ganesan. All full-time faculty are widely published as writers and scholars.

The B.A. in English and Writing offers an option of concentrating in either writing or literature. The writing concentration explores various forms of creative expression through course work in fiction, poetry, prose, journalism and drama. The literature concentration focuses primarily on American, English and Continental literature. Prospective teachers of English can combine this major concentration with a Secondary Education minor to prepare them to sit for the New York State Teacher Cetification Examination.

The summer writers conference includes a nationally distinguished faculty of authors and is open to all students. A variety of Cooperative Education and internship opportunities are also available.
