About the Program

 The study of English offers students a wide-ranging exploration of creative, literary, technical, and rhetorical forms of expression. Creative writing courses include fiction, poetry, and creative non-fiction workshops and advanced workshops in which students write and revise their own work while being immersed in innovative contemporary writing. Literature courses include topics-focused and period-focused classes from a diverse range of cultural traditions, as well as some literature translated into English. Courses also give students opportunities to write grants for local non-profits and work on writing projects that benefit community partners. Students in English can tailor the course of study to their interests by pursuing a track in Literature or Writing or a concentration in Secondary Education. 
Each English major is assigned a faculty adviser, who assists the student in creating a program of study best suited to the student’s interests and goals. The flexibility of the study of English allows the student a wide choice of courses within the department and possibilities for coordinating a program with another academic department.
Minimum requirements for admission into teacher education programs, maintaining candidate status and formal entry into the capstone internship are outlined on the Standards for Teacher Education page in the Undergraduate Catalog.
