Students pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in English or choosing an English or Writing minor develop skills in using language for both creative and functional applications. Through literature and composition studies, learners engage with influential historical thinkers and their cultural contexts. Many opt to pair their English major with another discipline through a double major. Those who complete the University's Teacher Education Program alongside their English bachelor's degree qualify for Tennessee teaching certification. While program graduates meet Tennessee's licensure standards, other states have different certification regulations. Aspiring educators planning to work outside Tennessee should research their target state's specific qualifications.
