English and Writing at Goshen College

At Goshen College, studying English or writing means engaging deeply with language — as art, as inquiry, and as a means for change. Our programs are designed for students who love words and want to use them with purpose — to tell stories, ask big questions, and contribute to meaningful conversations in a variety of careers.

Through close faculty mentorship, discussion-based classes, and hands-on opportunities in publishing, journalism, and performance, you’ll learn to think critically, write clearly, and read with empathy and insight.
