Bachelor of Arts in English

Bachelor of Arts
Averett University

The Department of Language, Literature, and Culture (LLC) (formerly English) at Averett University engages students in languages, cultures, writing, and a wide range of media, both in the classroom and in the community. The Department offers a Bachelor of Arts degree to students in English, English/History, English/History (Pre-Law), English/Theatre, or Modern Language and Culture. Majors within the LLC department are required, as part of earning the Bachelor of Arts, to complete a language sequence through the 203 level. The Department also offers minors in African and African-American Studies, English, French, and Spanish

Outcomes

The selection of required and suggested courses ensures that students completing a major in the LLC department are proficient in their use of written language, have good analytical skills, are careful readers, and have a strong background in the major texts and movements. While many of Averett's LLC majors elect to teach in secondary schools, others pursue advanced degrees in law, business, and graduate schools, and many go into journalism or business-related fields such as public relations or advertising.
