The goal of the English Department at Simpson University is to offer a varied course selection, a faculty committed to making sure each major in the program succeeds, and guidance for genuine intellectual inquiry and growth grounded in a Christian worldview. The English major is designed not only to educate students for a career in the literary area of their choice, but also to prepare them for graduate studies.

Most literature classes are seminar-style where students get to share their opinions on pieces they have read. The variety of writing classes offered prepares students for careers in the areas of communication, journalism, and publication.
