The English major at Texas State specializes in literature, film and media, creative writing, rhetoric and composition, and technical communication. Courses cover a range of texts from medieval literature to pop culture through a range of approaches. Students in English analyze literature, rhetoric, technical documents, film, and other media, and they express themselves in a variety of contexts while exploring key questions about life, meaning and value. Optional concentrations in creative writing, film, or writing and rhetoric are available, as well as secondary teacher certification in English language arts and reading with double major in education. Students may participate in faculty-led study abroad or Study in America trips, develop a professional community at association or networking events, or join student organizations for a well-rounded experience.
