Why study English and Education?
At the heart of the English program is a passion for critically, creatively, and professionally understanding and using the English language. The English Education option prepares effective, informed, student-centered teachers.
Scholarship Opportunities

The Harold and Verna Kleiner Memorial Fund is an annual scholarship awarded to a worthy and deserving student studying any option in the English Department. The selection of the scholarship recipient and amount is determined jointly by the university's Board of Trustees and English Department faculty. In recent years, the amount awarded has been $375.
The Colton-Huston Scholarship is awarded each year to no more than four female undergraduate English majors who are studying either American or English literature in the Literary Studies program or the Secondary English Education program.
