Description: The Department of English Language and Literature offers a broad spectrum of language, literature and composition courses. English majors and minors and English teaching majors and minors, in consultation with English Department advisers, can select programs individually designed to satisfy academic requirements. Further, students preparing for careers in law, medicine, business, public relations and government service find departmental courses highly beneficial. In addition, the Department of English has designed several courses essential to the general college student, including programs in college composition, English as a Second Language and Developmental Reading and study skills. Education: Training in the English Curriculum emphasizes practical preparation for work, improvement of communication skills and the achievement of a liberal education. Career Opportunities: A Baccalaureate degree in English provides students with a sound foundation for numerous graduate school and professional programs including public school, college and university teaching; preparation for law school, medical school and business management; and training for other public and governmental professional positions. Related Professions: Recent Weber State College graduates in English are employed as law clerks, public relations executives, proof-readers and editors, salespersons, writers, managers, supervisors, secretaries, librarians, military officers, bankers, journalists and administrators. Career Guidance: The Department of English informs interested students of opportunities in English-related fields through a career orientation presentation made available by the Department of English Secretary. College Composition: All four-year students must complete the nine-hour, sequential composition series English 101,102, and 103. Students with an ACT Test score in English of 15 or above register for English 101, College Composition. All students with ACT Test scores below 15 register for English 100, English Essentials. Students granted Advanced Placement credits or CLEP credits take courses appropriate to their levels of scores and credits. All foreign students, regardless of their previous test scores, must register for English 100, English as a Second Language, their first quarter at Weber State College. Academic Improvement: Students who lack college level or community survival reading and writing skills will take courses in developmental reading and developmental writing. Classes are formed for individual students, and instruction begins at the skills levels of each student. For this reason, a student may register concurrently for reading and writing courses. Students who do not achieve a required competency level within a quarter will receive a T grade (a temporary grade) which can be changed by doing additional work or by re-registering for a course as determined by the teacher. Placement in both reading and writing classes is determined by testing at the Academic Improvement Office before pulling a card for a specific class. Advanced students wishing to help other students in Academic Improvement register for a three-credit hour class in tutoring skills as a training practicum, English 380. , ._ 147 |
