英语专业的生活

“I was an English major with a minor in secondary 教育. Each and every course I completed was taught by very intelligent and seasoned English professors who challenged me to critically think about literature, 问一些有意义的问题, and to write words that say what is intended with purpose and conviction. My time at Lindenwood prepared me exceptionally well to teach literature and composition to the leaders of tomorrow.”

- Margaret (Class of 2017), English Teacher, Webster Groves High School
