The undergraduate major in English is built around a 12-hour core consisting of two literature classes and two courses from the following categories: Film, Linguistics, Creative Writing, and Rhetoric. In addition to the 12-hour core, students take an additional 27 hours of course work in the major.

The Linguistics concentration (LIN) complements the skills learned in the English core classes by exposing students to scientific approaches to the study of language, communication, and culture. Students will take at least 18-hours in linguistics classes that will introduce them to quantitative and qualitative analytical techniques and help develop problem solving and critical thinking skills that are sought after in today's marketplace. Students who complete this concentration may find employment in diverse fields such as market research, advertising, publishing, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, speech and language pathology, and more. Graduates may also be competitive for graduate programs in linguistics, communication, speech and language pathology, or law school.

Please visit the departmental website for additional information.
