Opportunities and Resources
As an undergraduate student, you have the opportunity to pursue research and creative work through the English Department’s writing contests and University-sponsored events such as the annual Fall Fest and Academic Spree Day. You also might pursue an honors thesis, allowing you to dive deeper into a topic that interests you.
You’ll benefit from Clark’s prime location, which gives you the chance to work at major research libraries, including the nearby American Antiquarian Society — a world-renowned archive of journals, novels, letters, broadsides, and ephemera. Worcester is home to nine colleges and universities, providing the opportunity for face-to-face collaboration with scholars and writers beyond the Clark campus.
