The Department of English and the Department of Art plus Design offer an interdisciplinary combined major in English and graphic and information design. Students interested in the combined major in English and graphic and information design integrate the study of literature and writing with the design of message and meaning, integrating text, image, and data. Students develop capacities for reading, analysis, and expression combined with visual design-complementary abilities in demand in the workplace. They learn to interpret and evaluate a variety of texts, to produce arguments, and to engage diverse audiences with well-honed writing skills. Studying the historical, cultural, and aesthetic contexts of Anglophone literatures, they analyze writing practices and related media from the quill pen to code.
