Can anyone comment on the caliber of University of Richmond’s English department? Is it considered strong?
I personally stay away from English and the humanities in general, but I hear they are quite rigorous (history, English, and leadership especially). Check out https://english.richmond.edu to learn about the English track, including career outcomes and various programs. Also, try talking to some students if you come to tour. Sorry for the lack of first-hand account.
Unfortunately, I don’t know that much about the English program either (I was a STEM major). However, I do know several people that majored in English, since I spent a lot of time doing theater and English was a common double major for those studying Theater. They all enjoyed the program, though! I also have heard that their program is solid.
