We offer a major leading to a Bachelor of Arts degree. As an English major, you'll choose one of three tracks: Studies in literature traces the development of British, American, and world culture and thought, from the earliest years to the most recent. This track leads you to many career possibilities where the ability to read closely, interpret productively, think critically, and speak and write persuasively are essential skills. Secondary licensure in English language arts prepares you to teach grades nine through 12. Students interested in teaching English in grades five through eight should fulfill the specified requirements for middle school licensure in English language arts. Students from other subject areas may choose to fulfill the requirements for educator licensure in English language arts as an additional endorsement. Studies in writing includes internship opportunities in professional writing, and editing on campus or with local businesses, companies and organizations. You may receive credit and, in some cases, payment for these internships. In addition, a certificate in undergraduate study in creative writing is available for our students in English or other majors.
