Because the study of English draws upon many other disciplines and provides a context for them, some knowledge of other disciplines makes literature and language more informed and useful. The Pre-Professional option is designed to be pursued with another liberal arts major in order to enhance the liberal arts and communication background sought for in many professional specializations.

Students should apply to the Department of English Chair by the end of the junior year, at the latest. Students should bring to the Chair a letter from the College of Liberal Arts office stating that the work toward another major is well in progress and will be completed by graduation.
