Pepperdine University's English program emphasizes writing and rhetoric, literary analysis, and digital humanities, equipping students with strong communication abilities, linguistic insight, and heightened ethical and global perspectives. English majors develop the innovative thinking and analytical abilities valued across media, tech, and corporate sectors.
The education specialization prepares future middle and high school English teachers. This combined pathway allows students to earn both their English Education BA and single-subject teaching credential without requiring the CSET exam.
The literature concentration offers studies in British, American, and world literatures alongside critical theory and digital humanities. Ideal for aspiring college professors or secondary educators, it also builds advanced research and writing competencies for graduate studies in English, law, or library science.
The writing and rhetoric specialization readies students for publishing careers or writing-focused professions while providing foundation for advanced studies in rhetoric or professional degrees like law.

Qualification Requirements
Pepperdine is committed to ensuring all students are evaluated fairly, therefore transcripts from each high school attended must be sent directly to Pepperdine University for evaluation. Grades transferred or translated from a previous school onto a current transcript are not accepted. If your current high school is within the United States, the U.S. high school may submit a copy of the original official transcript they received from a previous school. Students who have completed an IB certificate of diploma, must request the official exam results from the IB organization (IBO) to finalize their high school transcript requirement and be considered for advanced standing credit.
