English

The English program provides a strong foundation in the study of the English language and literatures and offers a B.A. in English Literature or Pre-law focus, a Minor in English, and a Minor in English Creative Writing.

Students may study American, African-American, British, African, Women’s, and global literatures as well as Linguistics, history of English, and Creative Writing.

The B.A. in English Pre-law track requires additional coursework in Business, Communication, History, Philosophy, Psychology, and Sociology.

The University Writing Program consists of three composition courses: ENG 1100, post-remedial / developmental; ENG 1101 and ENG 1102; prepares students with writing skills needed for success in any major.

Careers

Doctors, Engineers, Lawyers, and Presidents have former English majors within their ranks.

In any post-baccalaureate plan, faculty mentors and the Career Services Center provide support.
