The English Department of California State University, Sacramento, is a community of teachers, scholars, writers, and support staff whose primary mission is to promote learning in composition, creative writing, English education, linguistics, literature, and the teaching of English as a second language. The department seeks to help students acquire knowledge, develop skills, and realize their own intellectual and creative goals. At the undergraduate and graduate levels, the English Department presents a broad and balanced curriculum designed to develop the reading and writing skills, the interpretative abilities, and the cultural awareness of its students by maintaining and enhancing a tradition of strong teaching, solid scholarship, and vigorous support of creative literary activity. Graduates of the department are well equipped to enter advanced degree programs and to pursue careers in teaching, law, publishing, the arts, and other areas in which the ability to read and write the English language effectively is paramount.

URGENT MESSAGE CONCERNING H1N1 VIRUS

With the advent of the new semester, our university is taking very seriously the health risks presented by the H1N1 influenza virus. The instructions from the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and our own Student Health Services are that anyone experiencing flu-like symptoms should NOT come to campus. Coming to class or coming to work not only makes it harder for the individual to shake the illness, it spreads the virus to others. CDC further recommends that people with influenza-like illness remain at home until at least 24 hours after they are free of fever (100° F [37.8°C]), or signs of a fever without the use of fever-reducing medications. For more information please visit the CDC website.
