Study of English language and literature and of fine arts leads students to broaden their understanding of the human experience, to gain proficiency in written and spoken communication, and to participate in the performing arts. By directing students to study and perform the creative works of great writers and artists, the English and Fine Arts faculty at Faulkner University seek to reaffirm Christian ideals and practices in all walks of life.
To these ends, the English and Fine Arts Department offers several degrees, listed on their respective sub-deparment degree pages. Each course in the curriculum is designed to improve abilities in each facet of the arts, while capitalizing on the field chosen by the student. Upon completion, the student should be qualified to enter graduate school in one of the three fields or take a position in the professional world.
