The English major offers study in writing, linguistics, and the literature of English (including foreign literature in English translation). It also includes opportunities for internships in publishing and journalism. The major is designed to provide a basis for a number of career paths: for graduate study in English, law, or journalism; for secondary school teaching; and for communications-oriented careers in business, the arts, and the community. Acceptance into the English major is contingent upon the completion of ENG 2000 and ENG 2403 (or its equivalent) with a 2.5 average and upon the achievement of a 2.5 average overall.

The English minor allows students to design their own programs in order to complement their primary majors or interests.

NOTE: College Composition (any version or equivalent) is a prerequisite for all ENG 2000, 3000, and 4000 level courses.
