English and Languages: Why Major?  
WHY STUDY ENGLISH AT MONTREAT COLLEGE?  

Every English and Communication course merges a Biblical worldview with scholarship. Christ composed parables to communicate truth through story. In this sense he modeled literary, communicative, and creative writing study. Blending literature, theatre, journalism, and creative writing into a unified major is a unique feature of Montreat College. Students focus on a single concentration, yet apply courses from the other two concentrations toward their degree requirements. This cohesive approach toward literature, communication, and imaginative writing provides students a grasp of literary masterpieces as well as the practical application of literary craft and technical writing skills. English majors write a Senior Thesis, which caps their coursework in literary interpretation, drama, public information, or imaginative writing.
