Professional Writing
The 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 (page 167).
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 degreeallows 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.
