BA English with Language Arts and Reading Teacher Certification

The College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences encourages students to explore teaching at the secondary level as a career option. Upon completion of this program, you'll be prepared to sit for the certification examinations in Language Arts and Reading.

The English major is one of the largest in UNT's College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences. It is widely recognized as a foundational liberal arts degree, preparing you not only for graduate study in literature or creative writing, but for a range of careers - including teaching, the law, publishing and business - in which the skills of analytical thinking and effective communication are at a premium.
