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
Undergraduates wishing to major in English must declare the major and option by the time they have completed 60 semester hours. The English 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 English as well as the English 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 major as well as fulfill requirements for licensure at the undergraduate level. See the description of Undergraduate Teacher Licensure on the School of Education & Human Development (SEHD) Urban Community Teacher Education program page 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.
Graduate
Certificates
The English department also offers a graduate certificate in teaching English to speakers of other languages.
Additional Information
For additional information on majors, options, minors and certificates call the Department of English office at 303-556-2584.
