The Foreign Language Requirement

Students electing a major in English or Creative Writing can meet the Department’s foreign language requirement in one of two ways: 1) satisfactorily completing the second year of language study at the college level (or passing a second-year equivalency test), or 2) satisfactorily completing the first year at the college level (or passing a first-year equivalency test) in two different languages. If available, Latin or Greek may be used in the second option. The equivalency tests must be agreed upon by both the Modern Foreign Language and English departments.

English Teaching Certification

Students seeking certification as teachers of English develop a program in consultation with the faculty member in charge of secondary education as well as an English advisor. Students planning to teach are encouraged to take additional courses in English beyond the 33 credits required above. A carefully planned and executed program will give the prospective teacher a rich variety of theoretical and applied knowledge and skills helpful in  securing a teaching position.
