English Program

Mission Statement: The English Program supports academic excellence and the diverse needs of CSU-Pueblo students by offering several major and minor choices designed to help students to understand the discipline, specialize in areas of interest to them, strengthen their verbal and written communication skills, complement other areas of study, and enter the professional realm with the strong critical thinking and writing skills valued by today’s employers.

The various curricula and all English Program faculty promote freedom of expression, inclusiveness and diversity, integrity and mutual respect, accountability, innovation and civic responsibility. Faculty focus on student success and inspire learning through excellence in teaching and continued research.
