Why CSULA?

For over fifty years, the Department of English at the California State University, Los Angeles, has helped students develop into teachers, writers and professionals. Our graduates have gone on to teach in hundreds of middle schools and high schools in Southern California and beyond. Many have become chairs of their departments and deans of their schools. Others have taken positions in local businesses and industries, and many have attended professional schools and graduate schools.
