English & English Education
The University offers a B.A. in two programs.
- prepares students for graduate school in English and the humanities. Write to the Department Head, Dr. Robin Runia for information (rrunia@xula.edu).
- leads to certification to teach English Education (grades 6-12). For information, contact EE Director, Dr. Robin Runia at rrunia@xula.edu.
Students interested in exploring literary writing may enroll in CRWT courses; the CRWT minor (18 hours) allows students to focus on polishing their skills. Workshop-style courses are available in Poetry, Fiction, Creative Nonfiction, and Dramatic Writing; the Creative Thesis option is also available to qualifying students. For more information, contact CRWT Director Mr. Mark Whitaker at mwhitake@xula.edu
Professional Writing (PRWT)
Professional Writing classes help students to improve their prose, giving them confidence in writing on the job or for publication. PRWT classes, taken as electives, can help a student to improve his or her “public” writing. The PRWT minor (18 hours), when combined with the major of one’s choice, can prove to be a winning combination. (Looks great on a transcript!) For more information, contact PRWT Director, Ms. Katheryn Laborde at klaborde@xula.edu.
Double Concentration (PRWT/CRWT)
A double concentration (24 hours) in PRWT and CRWT is also available. For more information, contact Ms. Katheryn Laborde at klaborde@xula.edu.
