English at Webster

English at Webster Welcome students, potential students, and alumni to the English Department at Webster University! Please click our website for more information. Have fun!

We want this page to be an active community where you will want to visit regularly to connect with your friends, classmates, former classmates, and like-minded English-y types. In the Webster University English Department, you will find professors and students who cultivate creativity, actively appreciate the beauty and power of great writing, and who consistently strive to connect art wi

th life. Our classes are small and discussion-oriented, and students are individually mentored by their professors and advisors. We offer three emphases within the English major:

Creative Writing
Drama
Literature, Society, and Politics

We also offer a minor in English and a minor and certificate in professional writing. In addition, we contribute to the interdisciplinary drama studies minor offered at our London campus. Our students graduate with not only a substantial knowledge of literature and excellent writing abilities, but also the general critical reading, thinking, and communication skills necessary to make a mark on the world in whatever way they see fit. Now click, post, network.

We are sorry to share news of the passing of Kathleen Finneran, dear friend, colleague, teacher, and mentor. Kathleen taught our creative nonfiction courses for years before she joined the faculty at Washington University. She touched the lives of so many of our students with her encouraging kindness and warmth. Kathleen will be dearly missed.
