Bachelor of Arts in English with Concentration in English Writing
Program Overview
The Bachelor of Arts in English at the University at Albany is so much more than delving into the great literary canons of yesterday or exploring the new voices and fresh perspectives of today's writers.
At UAlbany, English majors are encouraged first and foremost to foster their abilities in critical thought and interpretation, as well as in thoughtful expression.
You'll accomplish this by pursuing areas of study that matter to you, whether they align with personal passions or professional goals – or both.
The Writing Concentration within the English major enriches your experience through extended treatment of the process of writing and of the rhetorical and artistic aspects of writing. The concentration also supports exploration of the dynamics of working with writers as editors, tutors, and teachers. It brings together the subfields of creative writing and rhetoric and writing studies and allows you to explore writing in its multi-faceted dimensions as a rhetorical and a poetic activity, skill, practice, object of study, and art.
The English major’s required core courses and survey courses as well as the required 9 hours of electives are vital in supporting this sustained exploration of writing. The concentration allows English majors who select from an array of electives that emphasize the practice and theory of writing to indicate on their transcripts this emphasis on writing. The concentration will thus serve as a professional credential for graduates, as repeated and varied practice in writing and understanding of theories of writing are desired by employers and professional graduate programs.
