Concentrations
Current concentrations offered by the Department of English all require a completed major in English, but differ in their use of electives. These concentrations include the following:
- Bachelor of Arts with a Major in English - The traditional English major allows/encourages students to seek additional courses in English to increase the depth and breadth of their preparation (e.g., for graduate school); to select a minor/second major to complete their special interests; or simply gives students an opportunity to expand their curiosity/interests through free use of their electives.
- Bachelor of Arts in English with Teacher Licensure - Seeking licensure requires the student to complete the School of Education’s Professional Education Sequence of courses. These courses will prepare a student to teach in North Carolina’s public and private school systems.
- Bachelor of Arts in English with a Pre-Law Track - The Pre-Law Track focuses students’ elective credits on writing courses and government courses in preparation for the rigorous requirements of law school.
