英语专业的学生

英语 课程s in 英语 improve the reading, writing, and analytical skills of students, offer insight into the structure of the 英语 language, explore film as an art form and develop an appreciation for great literature. 因此,一个英国人 major is excellent preparation for the graduate study of literature and communication, for medical school, law school, and secondary education. It opens the way to many positions in government and private industry, including editing, technical writing, advertising, public relations, communication, sales, marketing, personnel management, systems engineering and programming. Within 主要的, in order to provide a firm foundation for more advance study later, students take four broad-range survey courses, preferably early in the program. Additionally, in order to acquire range and balance, majors take one course in the 英语 language, chosen from Linguistics or Grammar. 英语 majors are also required to take a varied selection from other 英语 courses, including period surveys, literary genres, film, major figures, and writing courses.

Because of the wide diversity of offerings and the expectation that 英语 majors should improve their intellectual background and flexibility, students are encouraged to broaden their experience with additional courses beyond the minimum required for 主要的.
