Support the English Department
The Department of English offers a number of outstanding programs to Wake Forest students, including an English major and minor, an M. A. in English literature, and minors in Creative Writing, Journalism, and Medieval Studies. Graduates of our programs are comprehensively prepared for graduate work in literature, for professional degrees in law, management, and higher education, and they excel in a variety of fields and careers.
Your gifts and support can enhance our programs. With your help we can bring in guest lecturers and authors who share their talents and skills with our students, increase support for internships, and help facilitate research collaborations between students and faculty.
