MAJOR
PROGRAMS
The English
major includes five Comprehensive emphases and four 36-credit emphases
that offer students both a framework of core courses and focused
concentrations of courses (see tables below).
Study in the
major begins with English 210, "Introduction to Texts," a course
which explores a variety of texts and ways to approach them, specifically
designed to help majors understand their options and see connections among
their English coursework and other University and life experiences. In
addition to sharing information and ideas, English courses bring students
together in a community with shared learning goals.
All majors
take courses in writing, language, and literature. In the comprehensive
emphases, students take at least twelve credits in related courses from
outside the department. The major is designed to give students space to
discover a broad understanding of how English Studies can help them make
connections among their learning experiences. In addition to classroom
experience, students can contribute to promoting the English Language Arts
by serving as tutors in the English Composition Lab, as mentors in
Freshman Experience sections of English 110, as writing interns at area
businesses, and as members of Sigma Tau Delta (the English Honor Society)
or NOTA (the UW-Eau Claire creative arts organization).
Each spring,
the department sponsors a student-organized festival to promote and
celebrate the English Language Arts. In the final or next-to-final
semester, students finish their major with a "Capstone Seminar"
in which they complete a major independent project and submit their
English Portfolio for evaluation.
The English
Department also offers four minors and many courses that meet University
General Education requirements.

PRIORITIES
The
faculty have designed the English programs to reflect departmental
priorities, and to provide a good place to learn and grow for both
students and faculty. Looking for connections, they seek to integrate
language/linguistics, literature, composition, and teacher preparation
courses. The faculty seek to nurture close, fully-integrated
communities of learners who nourish and respect honest differences of
all kinds. The faculty continually work to improve connections with
other areas of the University and with the world outside the campus.
TOP
THE
PLACE AND THE PEOPLE
The
English Department is located on the fourth floor of Hibbard
Humanities Hall. Most faculty offices are nearby, and English classes
generally meet in Hibbard Hall classrooms. Staff in the department
office can provide information on courses, programs, transfer credits,

Laboratory, located in HHH 385, provide information about tutoring and
the English Competency Examination.
