What our students say about the English program
“The English Department at SAU has nurtured my ability for critical thinking and has helped me to cultivate new ideas outside of my comfort zone. I’ve really enjoyed my classes, especially literary criticism, which has made me a better writer and interpreter. I like how the small class sizes give us one-on-one time with professors, who are all good at catering to students and keep Jesus as our focus.”
