English courses fulfill general studies requirements in communications and humanities and provide background for advanced study programs.  They develop communication skills for personal, employment, and academic use. Communication skills taught in the English Department are essential in any employment area. English majors are well prepared for careers in teaching, law, politics, journalism, writing, editing, public relations, advertising, marketing and management.   

English Humanities courses encourage personal enrichment through the study of literature.  Courses in English as a second language assist foreign speakers to learn to speak, write, and read English.

Students should consult with a department advisor in planning their academic schedule in order to complete degree requirements in an expedient manner.  Required courses may not be available every semester or year.  Due to limited course offerings, degree-seeking students may find it necessary to extend completion time lines and attend both day and evening classes.  

The department recommends that students have keyboarding skills. Papers must be typed.
