English BA

The English B.A. builds a foundation in the liberal arts and provides specialized training in English language and literature. Students study English and American literature and culture in multicultural contexts, and they develop skills in critical reading, research, writing, speaking, and problem solving. The degree includes General Education Requirements, the Alaska Native Knowledge Graduation Requirement, and program requirements that add up to 120 minimum credit hours.

Students complete 42 credits of upper-division courses, with 24 of these being UAS credits. Courses may not be used to fulfill more than one requirement in the B.A. in English. Students also complete an Alaska Native or other language (not English) requirement of 6–8 credits, and they complete an emphasis area with 18–21 credits. The degree can be completed on the Juneau campus in-person, fully online, or through a combination of both.
