English - Hampton University

English from Hampton University is a Campus Bachelor Teaching degree that prepares you for a Education career. The English major provides a rich, humanistic education that prepares graduates for success in many different fields. Students may choose between two related but distinct course sequences. English Arts is a relatively traditional curriculum oriented to the study of literature , while English Expression was developed for the student who wishes to write. Both sequences reflect Hampton's historical identity. For example, students may choose courses in African American English, African American, Caribbean, and African Literature, as well as such traditional offerings as Shakespeare, American Literature, and Literary Criticism. Majors who wish to become middle or secondary school teachers may enter a five-year program that culminates in both a Bachelor's in English (B.A.) and a Master's degree in Teaching (M.T.). Our English Education majors are recruited by the most selective school districts in the country. Recently one of our English Education majors was honored as National Teacher of the Year. The Department of English also hosts an Interdisciplinary Program in Cinema Studies and offers a number of stimulating film-related courses. Recently, for example, students enrolled in a course in scriptwriting focused on adapting the work of novelist Omar Tyree. At the end of the course their work was critiqued in person by Mr. Tyree. English majors can also enrich their experience through study-abroad and internship opportunities. Advanced Studies in England, for example, is a program associated with Oxford University. Students who participate may spend a summer, semester or even a full year in the medieval city of Bath, England, while earning credit toward their degree. Several HU English faculty have also taught in this prestigious program.. Recent English majors have interned in fields as diverse as law, business, accounting, and public relations. One major, with a particular interest in film, held an internship in producer Spike Lee's famous production company ?Forty Acres and a Mule.? View more details on Hampton University .
