English


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Undergraduate Degrees

The major in English promotes an understanding of literature, trains students to think critically and write effectively, and encourages them to reflect on the central issues of the human condition-all from a Christian perspective. Core curriculum classes in composition emphasize the skills of effective research and writing. English major classes present literature from within a Christian worldview. Students who major in English will be equipped to understand culture and to communicate the gospel to others clearly and effectively.

Students intending to teach English in public schools at the Secondary level should complete the Major in English and also complete the Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) degree with one of our partner schools in order to achieve licensure.
