English The English Department at California Lutheran University is dedicated to offering the kinds of courses that will deepen students' understanding and appreciation of language and literature. The department has a strong interest in writing and in preparing students to pursue careers in a variety of fields.
Students explore how the different courses are interrelated.
The Cluster Program not only helps students make connections between various courses of study and ideas, but it also challenges students to become skilled and creative in communication. Writing is emphasized in all courses. Majors and non majors alike have opportunity to join the CLU chapter of Sigma Tau Delta, an international English honors society. Other career options for an English major include journalism, public relations, technical writing, creative writing, marketing, advertising, law, paralegal, sales and communications. To fulfill the integrated studies requirement of Core 21, all English majors are required to take a capstone course.
