Hello, I am a Junior English undergrad. I just recently transferred here from FSW and wanted to get some perspectives on the overall quality/nature of these majors. The small number of English faculty ( and therefore classes) is a bit worrying as I hope to study certain material while a student (postmodern lit as an example). Would you say FGCU has a "good" English program?

I also plan to minor (perhaps double major) in Philosophy. Just as well, would you say it has a strong overview of a wide variety of different topics? What about the Profs. Any exceptional ones who inspire the subject?

Specific questions:

​

1. What were the professors like? any exceptional or terrible ones I should look out for? How has the small number of faculty impacted your experience at FGCU?
2. Would you say, as an undergrad, that you were well introduced to a wide variety of not only period literature, but topics relevant to Literary Theory and history? What about different literary movements and schools of thought (e.g. Postmodernism)?
3. What are you plans after graduation? Would you say FGCU has prepared you for graduate studies and/or entering the professional workforce?
4. Do you have any comments on the overall quality of the English program? What about your overall experience? (I leave this question intentionally vague)
5. Ever look into the Philosophy department? If so, I would ask the same questions (so far as you can/wish answer them).

It's just that, so far anyway, my classes feel kinda underwhelming, like I'm missing the usual excitement or inspiration I have for learning. Though, perhaps that has to do with the fact that half my classes are online. What do you all think? Anyone feel a similar way?
