Department of English

Welcome, exciting adventures await you in the Frostburg State University English Department! From writing professionally to creatively, students majoring in English explore the passion they have for literature, fiction writing, web content editing, business writing, and more.

Small classes allow one on one time with professors, in depth class discussions, and the ability for students to challenge themselves. The English Department professors are dedicated to helping students develop their craft in one of four bachelor degree areas: creative writing, literature, professional writing, and teaching certification. As an English major, you will achieve 40 hours of credited course work through a combination of core courses and completion of one concentration, listed above.

Graduating with a degree in English, or with a minor, provides experience that prepares any student for the challenges of the 21st century. English majors, and minors, are prepared to tackle prestigious graduate school programs or perfect their resumes to find the career they love.

Active on campus, English students partake in impressive organizations such as the Student Government Association and the President’s Leadership Circle. They represent FSU at national conferences, in local and regional publications, and on campus, where they provide leadership.

Land Acknowledgement

Frostburg State University occupies the land on which Native Americans have lived for over ten thousand years. Many Eastern Woodlands tribes inhabited this area, including the Monongahela, Iroquois (Haudenosaunee), and Susquehannock who spoke Iroquois and the Shawnee and Delaware (Lenni Lenape) who spoke Algonquian. We acknowledge and honor Maryland’s three state-recognized tribes: the Piscataway Indian Nation, the Piscataway Conoy Tribe, and the Accohannock Indian Tribe. In addition, Frostburg State University acknowledges that part of our university’s campus is on the site of the former Brownsville / Park Avenue neighborhood, a predominantly African American community that began in 1866. Between 1927 and 1962, the State of Maryland forced many owners to sell their properties to accommodate the incremental growth of the University campus, displacing residents, organizations, and businesses within Brownsville.
