BA in English

All English majors take a common core of twelve credits and then specialize in one of four tracks. In each track, students choose upper division electives within the department and in consultation with their advisor. Students who find reading, discussing, and writing about literature to be exhilarating will enjoy the literature track. Students interested in acquiring advanced skills in communication, argumentation, and writing thrive in this track. The Creative Writing track helps students learn the craft of writing imaginatively by working with some of the top creative writing faculty in the country. The Linguistics track prepares students to engage with the linguistic diversity of our increasingly globalized world.
