English Education

    Students who complete the English Education major earn a Minnesota teaching license for Communication Arts and Literature Education, Grades 5-12.   This major is essentially a double major in English and education which allows students to pursue their passions for literature and writing while learning to share this passion with adolescent students.  Students in this major have the opportunity to participate in all that the English Department has to offer while getting "hands-on" experience in local schools beginning as early as the sophomore year.  Professor Susan Brooks, author of TV and Me, leads this program and enjoys taking students to the Minnesota Council of Teachers of English convention each year.  The English Department also provides supporting coursework for Elementary Education students who want to pursue a middle school specialty in English.
