Students completing the major should possess both theoretical knowledge and practical skills to enhance their careers and their intellectual lives. The theoretical knowledge may lay the foundation for teaching or graduate work. The practical ability to analyze and express ideas underlies many careers in industry and business and helps the student as well during a lifetime to understand personal aesthetic experience and to integrate it with philosophical and theological knowledge.
Students majoring in English are required to take English: 106, 233, 234, 236, either 237 or 238, 241 and 475. Of the five remaining electives in English, at least three must be literature courses and at least one a course in literature before 1800. Students pursuing a teaching certificate must take Introduction to General Linguistics (English 355).
As requirements for graduation, English majors must write and defend a senior thesis (done within the Senior Seminar course) and take a written comprehensive examination which tests general literary knowledge.
