BS English Language Arts Secondary Education Degree
Leads directly to state teacher certification or licensure to teach reading, literature, writing, and language arts to students in grades 7 through 12.
This degree is designed for preservice teachers who wish to teach the beauty and magic that is literature and poetry—future English Language Arts teachers coming away from this degree will have deepened knowledge of how to invoke a sense of creativity and whimsy in their students, and will be trained equally in the content area of English literature as well as the art and craft of teaching and instruction.
Your content area courses are completely customizable in this degree pathway.
