BA English

Studying English at BJU is more than just reading books and writing papers. It’s about understanding cultural history, thinking critically and communicating clearly. All these skills are essential for many careers and vocations—especially for Christians who desire to influence the world for Christ.

In our English program, you’ll explore the uniqueness of humankind through various points of view and cultures, and you’ll learn to better understand the people around you.

Throughout the program you’ll build a solid foundation in classical, British and American literature and explore the structure of the modern English language—all from a biblical worldview. Your faculty will challenge you both academically and spiritually by weaving scriptural wisdom and faith-building perspectives into their courses.

BJU’s English program offers a uniquely biblical approach to the study of the English language and literature. You’ll lay a solid foundation in aspects of language such as phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics, and learn how to apply your knowledge of theory so you’ll be able to communicate clearly and effectively.
