Program D - The Teaching of English

Students wishing to be certified as English teachers should elect
Program D.  Designed especially for prospective teachers, this 
program prepares them in the areas in which English teachers are
expected to demonstrate competence:  Literature, Composition,
Language, and Drama/Speech/Journalism.

Students electing Program D should attempt to do so early in their
careers; by so doing, they are assured of proper advising and will
avoid the possibility of delaying their completion of the program.

In addition to fulfilling the all-University requirements and the
requirements for certification (pp. 000-000), students enrolled in
Program D must complete a set of course requirements and a set of
career-oriented electives.

The program requirements are:  Literature 201, 202, 203, 331, 361,
455, Language 251, 323, 341, 496, Speech 101 or 102; and a Demonstration
of Competency examination appropriate to the program.  The study of
a foreign language is optional; students not electing a foreign
language should refer to p. 000 for the University policy on foreign
language.

The career-oriented electives include at least 14 semester-hours
from the following                : Literature 342, 343, 345, 347,
350, 431, 461, 465; Language 269, 342, 351, 361, 363, 381, 451, 453;
Speech 105, 115, Drama 110, 231, 421.
