Located in the heart of Harlem, The City College of New York’s Department of English has been a cornerstone of American scholarship and writing since 1848. We are committed to providing our students with a rigorous education that reflects the diversity of our community and the ever-evolving global literary landscape.
The Department of English is home to three undergraduate major concentrations (Literature, Creative Writing and Secondary English Education) and three graduate programs (English Literature, Creative Writing and Language and Literacy). Our courses are taught by a diverse faculty, many of whom have authored award-winning novels, memoirs, volumes of poetry, and influential works in fields of literary theory, cultural criticism, rhetoric, pedagogy, biography and historical scholarship. In addition to our course offerings, the English Department maintains an active calendar of readings, guest lectures, craft talks and professional development seminars designed to further enhance the education of our students.
