Find your purposeful and meaningful career as a language expert who writes and thinks critically

Become a part of a supportive learning community as you examine language, write texts, and think critically in the face of new contexts and challenges. Learn from literary professionals in the Canton community and beyond through an internship, our English in the City and the Writers Series. Students with a degree in English from Malone are imaginative, well-read and well-spoken, and prepared to succeed and serve in both their careers and personal lives.
