All Wake Tech campuses remain closed Tuesday, February 3, 2026, due to slick road conditions. Students taking in-person classes should check with their instructors for more information. Online courses continue as scheduled. Many Wake Tech services, including Admissions and Academic Advising, are available virtually at virtualsupport.waketech.edu. Wake Tech employees who can work remotely should do so.

Wake Tech's English Department offers courses in basic written composition, business writing, creative writing and American, British and world literature. Fifty-five full-time faculty members hold advanced degrees from universities across the U.S. and overseas. We take great pride in teaching students, whether they're going on to four-year colleges or pursuing careers, to think critically and to write clearly and well.
In addition to teaching, faculty provide tutoring to students enrolled in English classes. Faculty also guide the publication of the annual Wake Review, a collection of student writing. Many faculty attend and present papers at professional conferences and publish scholarly and creative work.
