The dual English program at UGA combines the requirements for both the A.B. in English from the College of Arts and Sciences and B.S.Ed. in English Education from the College of Education into one program.
Majors take a wide variety of courses; participate in the verbal worlds of other times and places; draw on a full range of linguistic tools, historical knowledge, and interpretive experience; and enhance appreciation for expressive possibility through a sophisticated and practical grasp of the central role that language plays in the preservation of human institutions. Faculty bring their own research into effective practice making for a dynamic experience. A portfolio reflects and synthesizes all coursework and student teaching.
Teaching careers are available in traditional middle and high schools, vocational-technical centers, alternative and magnet schools, and language study tech-prep programs. Graduates also find jobs in public relations, management, technical writing, publishing, business, and others that demand writing, interpretation, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
Study Abroad Options: Study Tour in Xalapa, Mexico; UGA Writers' Institute at Oxford; year-round study at Oxford University
