English Education (B.A.)

English Education Introduction

This degree works closely with students, and you will have the chance to help increase their knowledge in your selected topics. As an English teacher, you can aid students in relating literature and writing to their lives and see the difference it can make. You will also increase your own knowledge in literature and be able to effectively share that with students.

The English Education Degree focuses on educational theories and methods for teaching literature and composition in public schools, grades 6-12. With a First Field degree, you will complete an education minor in a second subject. After completing this degree, you will be certified to teach in two different subjects. You might select a complementary minor such as humanities or theater. However, combining English with a degree such as math or science might increase your marketability.
