Letter from the Chair

 
From the leafy, historic Bronx Rose Hill campus to the heart of New York City's cultural scene at Lincoln Center, English at Fordham is a central part of the University's intellectual life, with an undergraduate major and minors and graduate degree programs including the literature M.A., M.A. with a Writing Concentration, and a fully funded Ph.D. The Department offers courses in composition, writing, literature (up to the advanced doctoral level), dissertation workshops, graduate teaching preparation, and a pedagogy practicum. Our core faculty is comprised of over 40 full-time members who are productive scholars in fields from Anglo-Saxon and Anglo-Norman to Postcolonial and Postmodern literature and theories; in addition, the full-time faculty is regularly complemented by specialist writers-in-residence and visiting professors.
 
The English Department sponsors and takes part in a number of co-curricular events, interdisciplinary initiatives, and colloquia throughout the year and fosters a growing creative writing community. We welcome your interest in English at Fordham. Please feel free to
