Professors
encourage English majors and minors to attend plays, readings, and
conferences; to publish both scholarly and creative writing; and
to participate in university publications such as The Muse, the
Schreiner University Yearbook, and The Mountaineer. Because English
majors and minors should understand both cultural and historical
contexts of language and literature, they should enroll in both
HIST 1350 and HIST 1351.
The
major in English consists of ENGL 2340 and 2341 plus 27 advanced
English hours, excluding ENGL 3303, 3306 and 3307 but including
ENGL 3308, 3320, 3321, 3322, 3330, 3331, 4332, 4351 and either ENGL
4330, 4340, 4363, 4365, 4371 or 4399.
Students
majoring in English may choose 26 semester hours of electives. Students
seeking teacher certification in English should consult the Teacher
Education section of this catalog for specific course selection. Placement
in English courses is based on English placement assessment.
