Teaching Major in English / Language Arts 

The English/Language Arts Teaching major is designed to prepare students for teaching effectively in middle and high schools. Students will complete a core of courses in English and communication studies so as to meet performance standards for licensure. In addition, each student will select a concentration area (English or communications studies) to provide greater depth of content knowledge in the student’s area of teaching interest. Students must also complete content methods courses that will provide pedagogical knowledge and fulfill other professional requirements of the teacher education program.

Students’ progress through the program will be monitored, and students must meet prescribed levels of performance at various checkpoints as listed in the Unit Assessment System (UAS) in order to continue their enrollment in teacher education. Students should monitor their progress through the program using both the DAPR and the Rgrade system. Please consult the Undergraduate Catalog for information on the requirements for the English / Language Arts Teaching Major.
