The English Program offered through Nicholls On-line offers three major areas of concentration: creative writing, literary studies, and writing and rhetoric. The degree is organized around a core of courses that will begin with English 220 designed to introduce you to the discipline, each area of concentration, and what kinds of jobs you can expect to find after graduating with a degree in English. You will find a wide variety of electives to choose from before entering your area of concentration, such as American, British, and World literature and the literary genres of fiction, poetry, non-fiction, and even film. In keeping with national trends in the study of literary works, you will encounter a number of timely and attractive themes addressing global issues. You will complete your degree by registering for the capstone, English 405 where you will reflect on what you have learned as an English major, further discuss your career options, and complete materials necessary to enter the next phase of your career, whether you are seeking to join the workforce or are planning on seeking an advanced degree.
