English majors who are also completing Lynch School of Education majors must fulfill more specific major requirements to demonstrate a broad range of knowledge within the discipline. In addition to the First Year Writing Seminar, the Literature Core, Studies in Poetry, and Narrative and Interpretation, these students must fulfill the following requirements:
- (1) Pre-1700 Class
- (1) Pre-1900 Class
- (1) course Anglophone or Ethnic American Authors
- (1) course Women Authors
- (1) course on the History of the Language/ Grammar/ Linguistics
- (1) course in Adolescent and Young Adult Literature
- (2) English electives
The department recommends that English majors completing a secondary education minor follow these guidelines as well.
To acquire sufficient knowledge across this spectrum, LSOE students should consider taking more general survey courses (e.g. Introduction to British Literature and Culture I & II, American Literary History I, II & III) to fulfill some requirements. Students with questions about the EN/LSOE requirements should contact Treseanne Ainsworth.

Students in the College of Arts and Sciences majoring in English may apply to minor in Education, in order to gain certification for teaching. The program begins in the junior year.
Interested students should contact the Coordinator of Secondary Education or the Associate Dean in the Lynch School of Education during the first semester in sophomore year.
