Students failing college reading requirements must take English 004. Students showing marked inability to listen effectively to oral communications may be required to take English 006. Baccalaureate Degree Requirements English Major—The Department of English grants Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees. Students intending to take either must complete from 45 to 60 hours of satisfactory work in English language and literature with a minimum of 30 hours in upper division. Two types of majors are offered: a teaching major for prospective Secondary Education teachers and a departmental English major. The Department strongly recommends that students in both types of majors take the B.A. rather than the B.S. degree by completing 24 hours in one foreign language, provided they do not have the high school equivalent.
