The Department of English, located in West Hall 2109, offers four programs of study that lead to a B. A. degree in English, two programs that lead to an M. A. degree in English, and two tracks that lead to a Certificate for Teaching College English.

 Students in every Track are encouraged to gain work experience related to their major through internships or the VSU Cooperative Education Program. Each of the Department’s Tracks emphasizes the importance of critical thinking skills, encourages an appreciation of diverse cultural perspectives, and develops a greater understanding of the cognitive, emotive, and aesthetic dimensions of language as an avenue of self-knowledge, cultural understanding, and social responsibility.
