Bachelor of Science in English Education - Communication

Candidates in the English education major are prepared to teach the Language Arts to students in grades 7-12 with creativity and confidence. Our curriculum comprises a variety of courses in language/linguistics, composition/rhetoric, and literature. Students in our British, American, World, and Young Adult literature courses explore, fiction, poetry, and non-fiction written by men, women, and minorities. Our Professional Education courses prepare pre-service teachers to incorporate active learning strategies, to create effective methods for assessment, and to adjust instruction to accommodate multiple learning styles.

The English studies major offers students the flexibility to follow interests in literatures, linguistics, and creative, technical, and professional writing. The curriculum joins the strengths of a traditional humanities education with the career outcomes today's students seek. English majors develop strong communication skills, multiple research strategies, flexibility in responding to complex situations, and effective project management skills. Career success is tied to the ability to understand, restate, and analyze complex ideas and texts for multiple audiences. Such success requires habits of investigation, the ability to critically analyze sources of information, and the self-assurance to handle unfamiliar materials and situations. The department offers multiple opportunities to develop these skills both in the classroom and outside the university while working with and for authentic clients.
