Overview

The English, B.A. major at the University of the Virgin Islands provides professional education which includes theoretical and rhetorical foundations that prepare the student for graduate study or a career in a variety of fields.  

Students learn concepts and skills, such as the ability to read and write the English language effectively, that are highly marketable.  

Key Features 

  • For the convenience of students, courses in the major are usually taught as V (video-conference) or OL (online) classes; occasionally they may be offered as H (hybrid classes) that meet in the classroom on campus at least once a week but have a strong online focus.  
  • English majors at UVI have sufficient freedom to pursue other academic interests within the liberal arts and social sciences, education or business programs, for example, to complement their study of English.
