Major Requirement

ENGL 2500: ENGLISH AS A FIELD OF STUDY

DR. SETH RENO

What can you do with a degree in English? For that matter, what do people in English even do? Find out in English as a Field of Study, our cornerstone class for English majors and an introduction to the discipline of English for anyone interested in working with language or literature. Through class discussions as well as visits from all of the English faculty and other guests, students will learn that there’s more they can do with English than just teaching writing and literature, such as professional and technical writing, creative writing, editing, composition and rhetoric, linguistics, and other areas where an education in English is an advantage. In addition, to prepare students for their future literature courses, ENGL 2500 serves as an introduction to literature course, with readings and writings about the creative literary genres.
