Disciplines that make up English Studies

  • The English Teaching Emphasis fulfills Idaho certification requirements and prepares students to teach in school districts around the country.

     
  • The Linguistics Emphasis provides the opportunity for closer study of how language works and its connections with related fields such as anthropology, sociology, and psychology; the linguistics emphasis also leads to graduate study and careers in linguistics and teaching English as a second language.

     
  • The Literature Emphasis (combining two former emphases, General Literature and Liberal Arts) allows you to study a wide range of authors, genres, and periods in English and American literature, as well as English-language literature produced in post-colonial and ethnic minority cultures.

     
  • In the Technical Communication Emphasis, students learn to produce a wide variety of print and online documents for users in the computer industry, in the health sciences, and in many other fields.

     
  • The Writing Emphasis, with components in poetry, fiction, non-fiction prose, rhetoric and composition, and courses in book arts, gives students an opportunity to write, design, edit and publish their own work.
