Extracurriculars

The Department of English offers many activities that give you a chance to apply your learning and skills outside of the classroom: internships, study abroad programs, honor societies, and other student groups. Courses in English can also prepare you to participate in student publications, such as Rebel, Expressions, and The East Carolinian.
