English

Home to some of the most renowned scholars and writers in the world, the USC Dornsife Department of English explores the written word with a focus on both critical analysis and creative composition. Students learn from faculty who have won numerous awards including the Pulitzer Prize, MacArthur Genius Grant, the National Book Award, Guggenheims, and fellowships with the National Endowment for the Humanities. And this all takes place in Los Angeles – a city that is a hotbed of contemporary literature.
