Professional WritingThe Department of English offers the Bachelor of Arts degree in
English and the Bachelor of Arts degree in English for teacher
certification. A minor in English or professional writing may be
added to other majors.
The Master of Arts degree in English is available with emphases in
literature or writing. See the Graduate School section of this catalog.
Introduction
The goal of the Department of English is to provide students with
the core of a liberal education while also preparing them for
satisfying careers.
The Bachelor of Arts degree in English prepares students for graduate
work in English, for careers as college English teachers, or for careers
in technical or creative writing. It also provides preparatory training
for law school, public relations, library science, personnel work,
management, government work or the dozens of other fields that
require broad reading, self-expression, an understanding of human
nature and the ability to analyze and organize information. Since
this degree allows a considerable number of elective hours, students
majoring in English can often secure a major in a second field or a
minor, thus enhancing their career options.
The Bachelor of Arts degree in English for teacher certification
prepares students who wish to teach in high school with English as
a single teaching field. Like other English majors, those interested
in this degree will be advised by the Department of English.
Study Abroad Expectations
All students are encouraged to participate in ACU's Study Abroad
program. Classes offered at Study Abroad sites vary depending on
the site. Academic advisors can assist students in planning ahead for
their Study Abroad experience and should be consulted during the
freshman year.
