The Department of English at The Ohio State University has over 100 faculty and over 1000 undergraduate majors. Eleven 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, Duquesne University Press, and Ohio University Press.
We invite you to explore the links on this page to learn more about the Ohio State English Department and the Lima English faculty. On the faculty web pages, you will find the information you need to contact any of us with questions about our courses and the English major. The Coordinator of the English program on the Lima Campus is John Hellmann; the Chair of the Department, Valerie Lee, is on the Columbus campus.
