Course Offerings: The English Major's Handbook/English 200 |
Welcome to the Department of English |
||
| Ours is a department staffed by faculty with expertise in literature (from Anglo-Saxon to the present), linguistics (from phonology to syntax, sociolinguistics to second language acquisition), and writing (lower- and upper-division). We offer a B.A. in English to prepare students for graduate studies and for careers in such areas as law, management and government. Students who desire to teach at the secondary school level may then follow the English Teacher Preparation Program (ETPP). Both the Major and the ETPP have undergone some revision. Incoming freshmen therefore have the opportunity to include an Area of Specialization in their degree, for example, World Literature, Genre, Linguistics, or British Literature. The ETPP has been redesigned as the English Major with a Credential Emphasis (EMCE). |

The department
also offers minors to complement majors in other disciplines:
a Minor in English Literature, a Minor in Linguistics, and a Minor in
Children's Literature. In addition, we have two post-baccalaureate
certificates, one in Writing and the second in Children's Literature. Sophia

Announcements and Upcoming Events |
|
The ETPP is now the EMCE
On August 4, 2009, the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing approved the new EMCE Program curriculum. With this approval, the English Department now has two separate degrees.
Students who wish to become English Language Arts (ELA) teachers in the state of California should complete the requirements for the EMCE Program. All students beginning the program after June 2009 are required to follow the single-subject program as specified above.
Students who are not interested in becoming ELA teachers may complete the requirements for the Major in English Language and Literature (EMLL) Program. A link to the requirements for the 2009-2011 catalog can be found above.
Please note that both programs are subject to change. Therefore, we encourage everyone to visit the English Advising Office (Faculty Towers 202D) on a regular basis.
