Ferris Department of English, Literature, and World Languages The Facebook gathering place for students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends

The Department of English, Literature, and World Languages provides a strong and broad-based education in writing, literature, linguistics, and world languages through an array of majors, minors, and general education courses. We cultivate an appreciation of languages and literatures, enriching the communities we serve and preparing students to thrive in an increasingly complex and diverse society. Faculty offer courses stressing cultural studies, international literature and issues, world languages, children's and adolescent literature, minority literatures, and women's studies. In supporting Ferris's degree granting programs, courses in journalism, technical communication, written communication, and languages are designed to specifically support particular programs on the Ferris campus
