Additional Information From NC State University:
The undergraduate major in English is built around an 18-hour core that includes one course from each of the following six categories: American Literature, British Literature, World Literature, Film, Linguistics, and Rhetoric. In addition to the 18-hour core, students take 21 hours of course work in their concentration.
The concentration in Rhetoric and Professional Writing (LWR) emphasizes the study of written English in its theoretical, cultural, and practical applications. The 21-hour concentration includes two courses in Core Concepts, three courses in the Methods, Strategies and Contexts of rhetoric and professional writing, and two English electives. A co-requisite in Writing and Rhetorical Practice is also required -- most students will fulfill this requirement by completing an internship for academic credit (Methods, Strategies, and Contexts).
This curriculum can lead to a broad range of professions, with a special focus on careers that involve creating, designing, and producing documents: the news media, business and technical communication, the writing and publishing professions. Students may also focus their studies upon rhetoric, composition, and technical/professional writing and prepare for graduate study in these areas or for law school, teaching, and other professions.
Please visit the departmental website for additional information.
Major Residency Requirement: Minimum of fifteen (15) credit hours of English/Film courses must be completed at NC State.
Remaining Courses to be Taken at NC State are based on CAA eligibility and completion of all required and suggested courses in this transfer guide. Remaining courses, hours and time to degree may vary for each student.
