English: Pre-Secondary English Education Emphasis (2610-OPT3), B.A.

Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) - Major in English (2610)

A major in English consists of 46 hours: 15 hours of sophomore-level English courses and 31 hours of upper-division English courses. Students may select from among the following concentrations:

English: Literature Emphasis (2610-OPT1), B.A.
English: Writing Emphasis (2610-OPT2), B.A.
Concentration 3: Pre-Secondary English Education (2614)
English: Pre-Legal Studies 3+3 (2611), B.A.

In general, majors should work during their freshman and sophomore years toward the completion of the general education requirements and additional requirements toward the Bachelor of Arts and toward completing at least one sophomore-level literature survey sequence.

English Concentration 3 (Pre-Secondary English Education) provides students with a background for Pre-Secondary English Education. Students who elect this option must work with the UT Martin Department of Educational Studies to ensure licensure requirements are met. This program does not grant teacher licensure merely by completing ENGL courses.

Some recommended minors for English majors include foreign languages, history, philosophy, political science, international studies, mass media and strategic communication, theatre, or one of the other fine arts.
