Core CurriculumÌý

The undergraduate major in English is built around an 18-hour core that includes one course from each of the following six categories: American Literature, British Literature, World Literature, Film, Linguistics, and Rhetoric. In addition to the 18-hour core, students take 21 hours of course work in their concentration.

The Linguistics concentration (LIN) compliments the skills learned in the English core classes by exposing students to scientific approaches to study language, communication, and culture. Students will take at least 18-hours in linguistics classes which will introduce them to quantities and qualitative analytical techniques and develop problem solving and critical thinking skills that are sought after in today's marketplace. Students who complete this concentration might find employment in diverse fields such as market research, advertising, publishing, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, speech and language pathology, and more. Graduates may also be competitive for graduate programs in linguistics, communication, speech and language pathology, or law school.

Career Opportunities

A degree in English provides both liberal education and practical knowledge about the role of writing and language in the everyday world. It leads to careers in such fields as teaching, journalism, advertising, public relations, personnel management, technical writing, business writing, and creative writing. It sharpens the analytical and interpretive skills needed for professional and managerial careers, and it serves as an excellent preparation for students planning to study law or medicine and for those intending to do graduate work in literature, linguistics, film, or rhetoric.
