CMU’s English BA fosters critical analysis and inventive expression in a city where industrial heritage meets digital futures. Seminar-style courses dissect Afrofuturist novels with VR annotations; the Literary and Cultural Studies Lab maps Victorian serial fiction onto GIS cityscapes; and writers’ studio nights welcome Pulitzer laureates alongside student podcasters. The program’s professional-writing spine prepares graduates for careers spanning publishing, UX content strategy, and AI narrative design.
