About this Program
English Education Methods Block
English education majors must take a spring block of pre-Methods classes (second semester junior year) preceding the fall block of English methods classes (first semester senior year).
Spring block, 9 credits: ENGL 345, ENGL 375, ENGL 381. There are no limits on number of credits you may take in addition to these.
Fall block, 12 credits: ENGL 355, ENGL 356, ENGL 393, ENGL 497, and ENED 396. Because of practicum hours associated with these classes, we highly recommend that you take only these credits during this semester.
Notes for Teacher Certification:
Because of enrollment limits in the teacher certification program, some qualified students may not be admitted to English Education courses.
Before applying to the program, you must have completed 12 credits of English beyond ENGL 101, ENGL 150, and ENGL 202 and have at least a 3.00 GPA in those credits, including transfer credits.
Admission will be determined by GPA in English, evaluation of a portfolio of writing and an instructor recommendation. Admission decisions will be made before spring semester registration. See the English Department for further details.
