English major
Christ composed parables to communicate truth through story. In this sense, He modeled literary, communicative, and creative writing study. Our English program follows His lead—every course merges a biblical worldview with scholarship. This blending of literature, creative writing, and public information into a unified major is unique to Montreat. You’ll start with a single concentration, and then you’ll add courses from the other concentrations toward your degree requirements. This cohesive approach toward literature, imaginative writing, and professional writing provides students with a grasp of literary masterpieces, as well as the practical application of literary craft and technical writing skills.
