The Department of English at The Ohio State University has over 100 faculty and over 1000 undergraduate majors. Ten of the department's faculty members teach on the Lima campus, which offers a four-year program in English Language and Literature leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree. The department also serves many students who are not English majors but wish to improve their writing skills, read and discuss works of literature and film, and satisfy university requirements.
Students taking English courses on the Lima campus benefit from an unusual combination: the program combines the intimacy of a liberal arts college with the resources of a large research university. Small class sizes foster individual attention and student/faculty interaction. At the same time, Lima faculty, as members of the Ohio State English Department, have published their research with the profession's most reputable presses, including Columbia University Press, Cornell University Press, and Ohio University Press.
