The North Carolina State University, College of Humanities and Social Sciences, Department of English Records include minutes, correspondence, handbooks, and annual reports pertaining to the establishment of the Department of English, enrollment, post-modern culture (an e-journal from the early 1990's), and a proposal for the establishment of an undergraduate major in speech communications.
The Department of English offers a range of undergraduate majors and concentrations, minors, and graduate programs. It also offers many courses of interest to the University community as a whole, and works with other departments and programs -- such as Foreign Languages and Literatures, Women's Studies, Communications, Education -- to furnish multidisciplinary opportunities for NC State students.

Most students first become acquainted with the department in First-Year Writing courses, where they find focused, small-class instruction in composition and critical thinking. After the freshman year, many students fulfill their General Humanities Requirement with an English class, others enroll in the various Professional Writing classes, while still others decide to major in English. Majors choose among concentrations in Literature (LLT), Language, Writing & Rhetoric (LWR), Creative Writing (CRW), Teacher Education (TED), and Film Studies (FLM). The department also offers minors and courses in Linguistics, Journalism, Technical and Scientific Communication, World Literature, and others.
Graduate students enroll in either the Master of Arts in English program (with concentrations in Literature, Rhetoric & Composition, Linguistics, and Film Studies), the Master of Science in Technical Communication program, or the Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing.
In partnership with NC State University’s Department of Communication, the English Department also offers an interdisciplinary Ph.D. program in Communication, Rhetoric, and Digital Media (CRDM). Built on the premise that new developments in communication media and information technologies require a dramatic shift in instruction and research, this program integrates the study of oral, written, and visual modes of communication to focus on the human dimensions of information and communication technologies.
