Linguistics Learning Outcomes

The English major consists of a common core of 41 credits designed to prepare students for advanced study in one of four concentrations: Literature, Linguistics, Writing, and Secondary Education Language Arts (for students preparing to teach English at the middle or high school levels). In addition, we offer minors in literature, writing, and linguistics a certificate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL). Our goal is to give our students broad exposure to all areas of the English language.
