The major in English Education prepares the student for a career as a high school teacher in grades 9-12. The English part of the program includes most of the coursework required for the standard English major, but it also includes a course in Young Adult Literature and four additional credits in writing courses. A minor in a related field is also required.

The Education part of the program includes 34 credit hours of coursework in professional education, 12 of which have to do with the student teaching semester. Our graduates are ready to teach composition and a wide variety of literature. They are also ready, if they so desire, to seek international teaching jobs for which a master's degree or doctorate is not required. If the student takes our TESOL minor, he or she can be additionally certified to teach English as a second language in U.S. public schools. The TESOL minor is also a wonderful job-search advantage for graduates who want to teach overseas.
