The English undergraduate program (offering five specializations: Literature, Creative Writing, Subject Matter, FYI and JYI, and Honors) caters to students seeking focused study within the broader discipline of English. Upon declaring their English major, students must select one specialization. For guidance on choosing a specialization or exploring career paths with an English B.A., consult an English department advisor.
The Honors specialization allows students to build a robust academic foundation through independent work and seminars, preparing them for graduate studies in English or various professional graduate programs.
CSUN's English department comprises educators, researchers, authors, and support personnel dedicated to advancing knowledge in literature, creative writing, composition, and linguistics while supporting students' intellectual and creative aspirations. The department also fosters faculty growth through research, scholarly and creative projects, publications, and other professional endeavors that enhance both knowledge and teaching methods.
