English Department

Student presents at the 2024 New Critics Conference

Overview

Large enough to offer a wide variety of courses, the SUNY Oneonta English Department is also small enough to provide individual attention to its students through advisement, conferences, collaborative student groups, seminars and small classes.  In addition to teaching, we prepare students for graduate school and careers in law, business, publishing, administration, communications and public service.
