English, B.A. Degree Program

A Bachelor of Arts degree in English is offered upon completion of the University baccalaureate with an English major in one of three concentrations: Literature, Writing, or Secondary Instruction. Thirty-six credits are required, of which 24 credits must be upper-division in the major. Learning Outcomes Program Learning Outcomes Upon completion of the Bachelor of Arts in English, students will be able to: 1. Illustrate intellectual curiosity and devise strategies for independent inquiry (ULO 1). 2. Display the variety of ways in which the Christian faith is in dialogue with literary and rhetorical texts (ULO 2). 3. Analyze texts from historical, cultural, religious, and/or theoretical perspectives (ULO 1). 4. Construct clear and persuasive arguments using textual evidence (ULO 3). 5. Recognize the aesthetic and formal qualities of literary and rhetorical texts (ULO 1). 6. Practice the craft of writing in a variety of genres appropriate to audience (ULO 3). Each Program Learning Outcome (PLO) listed above references at least one of the University Learning Outcomes (ULO 1, 2, 3), which may be found in the General Information (p. 6) section of this catalog. Requirements International Students All students requesting transfer of credits from countries where English is not the primary language must provide the following to be assessed

Curriculum Requirements Program-Specific Core Curriculum (GE) Courses Engineering Physics majors automatically meet the Core Curriculum requirement of 8 credits of science and mathematics. The foreign language requirement is met by two years in high school or 4 credits of college foreign language. Students in the engineering 3/2 program sequence are exempt from Core Curriculum requirements in literature (3 credits) and World Civilization (3 credits). The student is also exempt from the last semester residency requirement. Program Courses CHEM 105 General Chemistry I
