Bachelor of Arts - English - English Education

There are few careers more fulfilling than that of an educator. A Bachelor of Arts Degree with a Major in English and Emphasis in English Education will train aspiring teachers to effectively teach English at the middle school and secondary level.

Students will learn from professionals who have experience in the middle and secondary classroom setting. This program has been designed specifically for future English teachers. In addition to courses in language, literature, and writing, students earning a Bachelor of Arts Degree with a Major in English and Emphasis in English Education will also take classes in teaching methodologies, psychology, and professional education. This curriculum provides students with the skill sets they’ll need to successfully teach language, literature, and writing to the next generation of leaders.

Great teachers must be effective classroom managers.  Pittsburg State requires students to put their knowledge to the test in front of the classroom. This field experience complements the departmental methods courses, and, ultimately results in a more successful graduate. Students spend their final semester teaching under the supervision of an experienced, licensed teacher.
