The John Brown University Department of English offers a curriculum leading to the Bachelor of Arts and, in conjunction with the College of Education and Human Services, the Bachelor of Science in Education for teachers of English.

The curriculum for the English major emphasizes the reading and critical analysis of literature, the historical development of literature as part of culture, and the research, writing, critical thinking, and communication skills necessary for scholarship, effective teaching and success in a wide variety of professional fields, which include publishing, editing, writing for business and industry, management, and many more.

Practicums offer experience in Writing Center consultation and experience in collaboration with a real world publishing company to produce a reading guide to a recently published book.
