萊莫恩學(xué)院

English majors may follow the curriculum for the literature concentration, the creative writing concentration, or one of five literature and education tracks designed for students earning an English major with teaching certification. Students in the education tracks also have the option of adding the creative writing concentration to their degree. The literature and creative writing concentrations must be declared by the end of the junior year. Students must declare one of the literature and education tracks and apply formally to the education program no later than the end of their sophomore year; however, they are strongly encouraged to do so earlier since fulfilling the requirements will demand careful planning in scheduling courses.
