English majors learn to acquire and synthesize information and to present their ideas and opinions skillfully. They find employment in fields in which the sophisticated use of language is necessary for achievement and advancement. Many graduates go on to postgraduate study, not only in writing, film studies and literature, but to schools of medicine, law, education, journalism and business.

Undergraduate
English Majors
An undergraduate wishing to major in English must declare a major and track by the time they have completed 60 semester hours and may choose one of two majors: literature or writing. The literature major allows a student to choose from one of three options: literature, creative writing or film studies. Students interested in a double major must choose one option in literature as well as the writing major and are required to complete 21 different courses (63 hours).
BA in English With Secondary Teacher Licensure
Students seeking secondary English teacher licensure may pursue a BA in English with a restricted literature option. This enables them to complete their English literature major as well as fulfill requirements for licensure at the undergraduate level. Call 303-556-3790 for more information.
Departmental Honors
Latin honors may be earned by participating in the department’s honors program. Students with a 3.5 GPA in English are encouraged to begin the program in their junior year. The program requires additional course work (1-3 hours) and affords students the opportunity to work individually with the professor of their choice. Detailed information is available in the English department office.
Minors
The Department of English also offers four separate minors. No courses taken for a minor may be counted toward an English major.
Certificates
The English department also offers a professional writing certificate and a teaching of English to speakers of other languages certificate.
Additional Information
For additional information on majors, options, minors and certificates call the Department of English office at 303-556-8304 or 303-556-2584.
