Minor in English/Language Arts

A passion for language

The art of language is an amazing gift from God. With our creativity and intellect, we are able to craft strings of words into memorable stories and beautiful poems. Reading and writing are, after all, two out of the three 鈥淩s鈥濃€攏ecessary for the most basic education. With a minor in English/Language Arts, you can elevate your teaching skills by masterfully understanding literature and wordsmithing.
