Undergraduate Major and Minor Advising Forms

The undergraduate English major and minor programs are differentiated as follows: The BA in English and English Education requires students to complete at least two years of a foreign language; the BS in English and English Education requires students to complete a minor in a relevant discipline. A minor in Literary Studies allows students to focus on literature courses; a minor in Writing Studies allows students to focus on writing courses.

A comparison of the English BA, BS, and BEd degrees is presented side by side here.
