Coursework
At Minot State, English education majors learn with the benefit of engaged, passionate, and focused faculty. The curriculum focuses on core foundational courses — literary criticism, British and American literature, and multi-genre writing — and includes a variety of topics courses so students can tailor the program to their interests. As an English education major, you will also prepare for teaching at the secondary level.
