Utah Valley State College 2008-2009 Course Catalog - (Page 162) English and Literature English and Literature department chair: robert cousins Telephone: 801-863-8571 English courses taken at UVU apply towards Bachelor, AA/AS and AAS degrees, minors, diplomas, and certificates. Courses should transfer to most four-year institutions of higher learning. UVU’s English program is designed to give students skill, confidence, and versatility in writing, speaking, and interpreting texts. The program provides opportunities for students to consider and practice the applications of effective language use in diverse situations: professional, pragmatic, social, political, and aesthetic. The English program emphasizes knowledge and use of standard English in all written work, yet incorporates an understanding that English is a desirably diverse and variable phenomenon. The courses of study in English are designed to familiarize students with much of the traditional canon of literature. They are also designed to provide students with the critical and ethical skills necessary to interrogate this canon, to incorporate and legitimize their own and others’ “different” voices, not just in the academy, but in any of the many situations in which language influences human activity. Students in English at UVU may choose from the following program options: BA/BS in English with an emphasis in Creative Writing or Literary Studies, BA/BS in English Education, BA/BS in Integrated Studies with an emphasis in English, AA/AS Emphasis in English, AA/AS Technical Communication Specialization. Minors are available in Creative Writing, English Education, Literary Studies, and Technical Communication. A certification in Technical Writing is available for students who have a completed associate’s degree or higher from a regionally accredited institution of higher learning and one year of fulltime employment. Students who wish to learn more about any of these programs should contact the English/Literature Department for further information concerning course requirements. proGr AmS Distribution Courses • Biology • Physical Science • Additional Biology or Physical Science • ENGL 2600 Critical Introduction to Literature • Fine Arts Distribution • Social/Behavioral Science Discipline Core Requirements: Assistant chair: christa Albrecht-crane Telephone: 801-863-6286 faculty: Professor Karin Anderson J.D.
