The Elementary Education Track applies only to those students who are pursuing a major in Education with a licensure emphasis in Elementary (1-6). If a student withdraws from the Education major, then the option to pursue the Elementary Track in the English major no longer applies. English majors who are pursuing licensure in Middle/Secondary Education (5-8; 8-12) would still complete the standard 10-course English major.
Advising Tips
- Although 10 courses are required for the major, students can take up to 14 courses designated ENG.
- Students entering with Advanced Placement credit for Language and Composition and/or Literature and
- Composition should take ENG 201 Argument and Persuasion and/or another 200-level ENG course during the first year.
- While students in this program are required to take just two of the three literature survey courses, we advise students to complete all three courses.
- Students in this program should complete the 300-level literature electives (ENG 320-395) before taking the Capstone Course in the fall of the senior year.
