College of Arts and Sciences
Since its founding almost 200 years ago, the English Department at The University of Vermont has prepared students to meet the challenges of a constantly changing and increasingly complex world.

Home to two majors (English and Film and Television Studies) and four minors (English, Writing, Reporting and Documentary Storytelling, and Film and Television), the Department focuses on the power of texts to shape ourselves and our surroundings.  

We have a vibrant community in the Old Mill building, with lounge and study space for our students and plenty of professors with open doors. Our well-equipped Film and Television Studies production labs are in the newly renovated Cohen building.  

In addition to informal connections, we offer compelling classes and a rich slate of special events, with private workshops and receptions with distinguished guests exclusively for English and FTS majors.
