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, for admission to graduate school, and for public school teaching and certification.
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.
Note: Majors or minors who fail to complete a course with a grade of C or better are required to repeat the course with a satisfactory grade before proceeding to more advanced offerings.
