The Discipline
The English major provides a detailed knowledge of the English language and of
literature written in English. English majors approach language and literature
as a source of knowledge and aesthetic pleasure, a mode of encountering and evaluating
diverse minds and attitudes, a vehicle for art and action, a means of historical
understanding, and a source of spiritual insight. English majors use writing as
their primary means of knowing, understanding, and evaluating their experience
and their reading and of sharing their insight with others. In keeping with the
long-standing ideals of a liberal arts education, the English Department aims
to cultivate in its students those foundational skills in writing, awareness,
and judgment upon which lives of wisdom, service, and an ever-increasing love
for learning might be built.
Program Outcomes
Upon completing a major in English, students will:
1. Demonstrate greater awareness, understanding, and appreciation of Hawaii and
the Pacific Islands in relationship to the wider and sometimes more complicated
global community.
2. Learn skills in research, writing, critical thinking, listening and retention
to assist in problem solving.
3. Work towards full competency in speaking, reading, writing, and doing research
in the Hawaiian Language plus service to the community.
4. Enter graduate school or find employment within one year of graduation.
5. Complete a successful, integrative internship and under supervision, function
within the structure of organizations and service delivery systems, and seek necessary
organizational change (for students completing a major in Pacific Island Studies).
