DescriptionReading and writing are as natural to you as breathing. While most of your friends are watching Romeo and Juliet online to cram for the exam, you're reading the play for the tenth time. Your poetry could give T.S Eliot a run for his money. English, reading, writing, and analysis are your passions, and you want somewhere that will inspire you to improve on these skills.

You can choose from 151 English courses - 24 in first year alone! Take rhetoric courses and learn how advertising copy sells ideas.
