English (BSEd)

No grade below a “C” will be accepted in a course taken to fulfill the English requirements. English course not used in the major will still count in the major gpa. Students must maintain a 2.5 (BA) and a 2.6 (BSEd) cumulative grade point average in the major to meet graduation requirements.

Note: All English majors are required to take three semesters of a foreign language as part of their BA degree or two semesters of foreign language as part of their BSEd degree - preferably with all semesters in the same language but (in the case of the BA degree) in no more than two different languages. Students pursuing either the major or minor should declare their intentions as soon as possible, preferably when signing up for their second-semester composition course.

BSEd majors must complete the teaching emphasis and the professional education course work in Secondary Education, including the secondary methods course, SEED 424 - SEED 424 - 7-12 Language Arts Methods .
