Hofstra University's Department of English offers undergraduate concentrations in Literatures in English, Creative Writing, Publishing Studies, and Children's and Young Adult Literature, and the university's close proximity to New York City enriches the curriculum and provides incomparable opportunities for internships and experiential learning programs. The Great Writers, Great Readings series brings award-winning writers across the genres to campus to engage students in intimate writing workshops and readings. Students can get published in a student literary magazine, Font; join a chapter of the English honor society Sigma Tau Delta; or participate in the College's oldest study abroad program, in London, studying contemporary British playwrights from Samuel Beckett to Tom Stoppard.
