English, Rhetoric & Spanish

The TWU Division of English, Rhetoric and Spanish is a center for the study of literature, language and writing. As one of the university’s founding departments, our history is long and rich, and our legacy is an ongoing commitment to preparing and empowering students for active participation in society’s discourses.

As a student in our program, you will be encouraged to network with your peers in one of our student organizations and gain professional experience through an internship at our tutoring center, The Write Site, or TWU’s student newspaper, The Lasso. If you are interested in expanding your horizons, we can help you learn Spanish and even travel abroad.
