English major Kristi Jo Leaders traveling to New Orleans with fellow students, Kacee Cruz and Katy Tinker, for a service and research project.

The 39-hour Bachelor of Arts English major offers preparation for a number of professions through its dual emphasis: (1) a 27-hour core of literature, writing, and criticism courses, and (2) a 12-hour program of major electives selected by the student.

Core courses enable students to deepen their knowledge of a variety of literature and their practice of critical thinking, writing, and interpretation skills. These are foundational to a number of professions. Major elective courses allow the student to develop skills and knowledge important to professions that benefit from studies in literature and writing.
