Bachelor of Arts in Englisch

A major in English is useful in jobs where critical thinking, clear communication, and effective writing skills are a priority. Additionally, it is a recognized gateway to graduate study in literature and writing, as well as advanced professional degrees in law and medical school. Students who enjoy literature and are interested in growing as writers will find a major in English an enjoyable and marketable degree. Culminating in a senior project developed in close consultation with one or more faculty members, the major is designed to ensure broad familiarity with major periods and genres of American, British, and international literature, and is a way to study history and human cultures as well. A sense of community is strong among LC State English majors who provide a number of services to the campus community, including staffing our campus Writing Center.

All English graduates are required to complete the following:

• An exit interview,
• A senior research project, and
• An accompanying symposium presentation of the senior project.
