Undergraduate Teacher Education Program
English Licensure

Literary study is a way to understand not just literature but life and culture. To that end majors in English and Communication Studies follow a course of study that allows them to explore a variety of written and visual forms and to study major texts in depth. They learn to read with an awareness of cultural context, to think clearly and accurately about texts, and to carry this precision into their own writing and speaking. Greensboro College offers both a major in English and a major in English and Communication Studies. Teacher licensure is available for candidates who wish to teach English at the middle or high school level. Interesting opportunities include internships in publishing and in newspaper and magazine writing, as well as tutoring in literacy programs.

Candidates desiring North Carolina licensure should be aware that graduation with licensure may require more than the minimum 124 semester hours.
