    The Department of Languages and Literature offers majors in English and in Foreign Language; minors in English, English Writing, French, German, and Spanish, and courses in the areas of Japanese, Greek, Latin, and Linguistics.
    English majors and minors who transfer from other colleges and universities must meet minimum requirements for hours of course work earned at APSU, as follows:
    English majors: nine hours of upper-division course work in English
    English minors: six hours of upper-division course work in English
    The English major, leading to the B.A. or B.S. degree, provides the foundation for a variety of careers. In addition to training students for positions that call primarily for language skills, the English major is a fine preparation for any work where the ability to think independently and creatively is valued. ENG 1100 is required to fulfill the Computer Literacy requirement for English majors. ENG 300x may not be used to satisfy requirements for English majors or minors.
    Licensure: For those planning academic careers in junior and senior high schools the subject-matter courses required for licensure to teach in Tennessee secondary schools are necessary. The teaching major is open only to those preparing to teach at the secondary level. Students should plan their coursework in consultation with a faculty advisor assigned by the department.
