English Major: Writing Concentration, BA

All English majors share a common foundation of coursework in linguistics, literature, and writing that effectively anchor learning in the integrated art, craft, and science of language. Students develop skills with which to engage story, practice interpretation, and experience the cultural and historical diversity of language and literature. Students in the Writing concentration choose additional courses focusing on specific genres (e.g., fiction or journalism), audiences (e.g., children or adolescent readers), and purposes (e.g., journalism or business writing).
