Department of English
Welcome
English programs at LSSU promote and support the development of
students’ writing ability and understanding of literature. In writing,
English programs serve the university by mentoring all students toward
greater fluency in academic, professional, and creative forms of
writing. In literature, English programs provide students with a
thorough preparation in the analysis of literary, social, and cultural
texts and histories that combine the past with the contemporary, and in
methods of research and theories. This preparation enables students to
pursue significant work in teaching, scholarship, commercial
communication, and productive cultural, ethical, and intellectual life.
English programs achieve their missions with faculty who are
accomplished teachers, scholars, artists, and practitioners, and
through courses and programs that feature high academic standards,
instructional innovation and variety, enthusiastic engagement,
flexibility to student needs and interests, and individual student
attention.
"Lake State gave me the experience and the opportunity I was looking for. My courses and the work experience I recieved allowed me to accept a position as a Graduate Assistant at South Dakota State University. I've been working on my Masters of Education with a specialization in Student Affairs and Counseling.
The class size at Lake State gave me the opportunity to learn and make connections with both the students and faculty. It provided a great Student to Teacher ratio that allowed for indepth and provoking conversation, a key element in learning. The compassion of the professors shows as they have helped me with every aspect of my education and furture planning."
