English & World Languages Department

English Program

The major in English leads to a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree and provides graduates with an understanding of language and literature as a basis for aesthetic, ethical, social, and academic ways of thinking, creating, and researching. The goal of the program is to develop general communication and learning skills and an understanding of the value of ongoing critical reading, thinking, and writing. Critical, analytical, and composition skills, which provide excellent preparation for professional careers in teaching, writing, editing and publishing, business, media, public service, law, and the arts are emphasized.

World Languages Program

The World Languages Program offers a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish (BA) intended to prepare students for the many careers where educated bilingual speakers are highly valued. Most of our students choose to double major or combine their Spanish BA with fields such as Social Work, Psychology, Sociology, English, Pre Nursing, Political Science, Media Communication, Business, Exercise Science, Public Health, etc. Other students complete their Spanish BA for teaching, translation certifications, or admission to graduate school.

Minors in Italian, and Spanish complement a wide variety of majors in other disciplines to enhance the students’ ability to compete for jobs where knowledge of a world language is desirable.

Courses in French, German, American Sign Language, and Comparative Linguistics (listed under WL) are offered as permitted by enrollment. Student exchanges with foreign universities and other study-abroad programs are encouraged.
