Academic Accelerator - Bachelor of Arts - English

Program Description

• The right amount of support when you need it.
• A seat in credit-bearing courses, so you can earn a full freshman year’s worth of credits while taking courses tailored to your needs as an international student. This will help you achieve your academic and career goals.
• English-language instruction designed around your social and academic needs.
• Integrated and cohorted courses, so you’ll be in some classes with U.S. students and others with your designated UDayton Global cohort.

With a wide choice of courses in literature, creative writing, rhetoric and composition, and film, the English major allows flexibility to individualize your program of study.

Because most English courses are small, you will receive personal attention from professors who inspire and challenge. Our faculty members represent a diverse range of interests and expertise, and they bring the passion and wisdom of their scholarly accomplishments into the classroom. As teachers and advisers, they are devoted to helping you grow and succeed.

As an English major, you’ll be required to demonstrate proficiency in Standard Written English by successfully completing one or more first-year composition courses. And in order to prepare you for work in our global society, you will also complete a language requirement. You may satisfy the requirement by taking a proficiency examination, completing an intermediate-level language course, or participating in an approved education abroad experience.
