Our terrific students have a strong sense of community and a career focus; they’re very good company indeed. Our chapter of the Sigma Tau Delta English Honor Society is active and involved. The curricula in our majors allow students to enjoy the good company of characters and authors from multiple traditions, with literature classes drawn from the American, British, and World canons. We also offer Film, Poetry, Fiction, Creative Nonfiction, and Linguistics classes in our Minors. We offer professional internships, and opportunities to study abroad, and many of our students of all sorts work in our Writing Center as tutors.

📰 Journalism

The Department of Journalism prepares students for positions in journalism and other media related fields through rigorous attention to writing and information-gathering, multimedia storytelling and engagement with the liberal arts and sciences that inform issues of the day. The program emphasizes real-world training through the coverage of public affairs issues locally and regular reporting trips abroad, as well as support of co-curricular activities such as campus media. The department offers the only sports journalism concentration at a public university in the state. Faculty members are award-winning journalists and scholars in the field.

🏫 Philosophy

Philosophy develops many skills, such as critical thinking, reasoning and argumentation, clear communication about complex topics, careful consideration of multiple perspectives on the same topic, and thoughtful consideration of ethics and values in public and private spheres. Philosophy majors pursue many different paths, including graduate programs, law school, and medical school.

🏫 Undecided

The Explore Central office is the place for incoming students who are in the process of determining the right academic path to follow at Central. The mission of Explore Central is to advise students who are undecided about choosing an academic major. The goals of the office are to assist students in assessing their strengths, interests, and skills, exploring potential academic majors, coordinating an academic plan of study, relaying academic requirements, and declaring an academic major by 30-45 credits.

🌎 World Languages, Literature, and Cultures

The World Languages, Literatures, and Cultures Department offers a wide variety of language, culture and literature courses which not only provide students with an aesthetic appreciation of the representative languages, but also give them a better understanding of self, of other cultures and of the complexities of human nature. The World Languages, Literatures, and Cultures Department assures the quality of its programs by having a faculty whose deep commitment to teaching and research is matched by their linguistic expertise and knowledge of their discipline. As a vital part of Central Connecticut State University's academic program, the World Languages, Literatures, and Cultures Department is proud of its dedication to language learning and international studies.
