WHY CHOOSE CSUF English, Comparative Literature and Linguistics
It’s through writing and literature that we learn to interpret the world around us. In our program, students study advanced linguistic techniques and written works from across the globe to help them develop a keen mastery of academic, professional and creative writing.
You will learn to read critically, write effectively and research comprehensively whilst collaborating with faculty members who have expertise in a wide array of research areas, including medieval literature, creative writing, detective and crime fiction, and psycholinguistics.
