| Bachelor of Arts in English |
Through a paradigm of required courses, the English major embraces the literary traditions conveyed through the English language--British, American, and African American--in an integrated manner. In addition it involves a study of the history of English as it has evolved over centuries to the present day. Such a program serves to develop the “cultivated intellect” that renders the graduate able to think critically and to express himself effectively, in both speaking and writing. With that education the graduate may enter the professional world and society at large as a responsibly contributing member.
