Overview

This fun and exciting major will prepare you for the classroom and to positively impact the lives of teenagers.

Key Facts

As an English Education major, you will focus on three areas of study: general education, professional education and English content (literature, linguistics and writing). You will study American, British and world literature and will have the opportunity to choose special courses to focus on a particular literary period or genre. You’ll sharpen your writing skills and knowledge and learn to evaluate written materials according to grammatical structure, composition and linguistic principle. In our English Education department you will receive specialized instruction on the English language origins, present-day function and methods of teaching.

Through this English Education major from Oral Roberts University, you will earn licensure to teach English and language arts at the middle and high school levels. You may also earn licensure in a second subject/content area. The Oklahoma Commission for Teacher Preparation requires the OSAT/OPTE test(s) be passed in order to obtain a license in an additional subject/content area. If you are interested in completing coursework toward additional licensing, the subject area advisor can help you with the next steps.

Our mission to raise Whole Leaders for the Whole World will truly set you apart as a teacher in today’s schools.
