Building on a solid core of British, American, and contemporary world literature, students design a curriculum to suit their own interests and career plans, drawing on courses from creative writing, environmental literature, and literatures from around the world. The English major provides one of the strongest foundations for a wide range of careers, including business, law, teaching, public service, journalism, creative writing, and publishing. The reading, writing, research, and critical thinking skills students will develop as an English major are the skills that will eventually take them past the entry-level position and into a career. Many English majors supplement their primary program with internships, academic minors, study abroad programs, and other enhancements. One of the most popular programs combines an English major with certification to teach at the elementary or secondary levels. A minor is not required, but many students combine the English major with minors in business, environmental studies, theater, public relations, or philosophy. Once students have chosen to major in English, an advisor will work with them to design the English major that works best.

ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES Contacts: contact: Stephen Robar -director Curriculum committee members: Dr. S. Gajanan (voting member), Mary Mulcahy (voting member), Steve Robar( voting member), Don Ulin (voting member), Assad Panah, Dessie Severson and Dick McDowell Environmental studies is an interdisciplinary academic program that explores the relationships between humankind and its environment. Because the environment is complex and consists of many different environments, including the natural, constructed, and cultural environments, the environmental studies program fundamentally integrates the bodies of knowledge of the natural sciences, the social sciences, and the arts and humanities. A degree in environmental studies provides a comprehensive, interdisciplinary education that gives students the ability to analyze complex environmental problems and generate solutions. Our environmental studies program focuses on: teaching students how to describe and analyze ecosystems; generating sound scientific understandings of biological, chemical and geologic systems; evaluating the legal, political and policy systems that impact ecosystems; appreciating the influence of artistic and literary explorations of the environment; Note: Please visit the Environmental Studies Web page for more information on faculty and student research activities, internships, and the region in general.
