Undergraduates have for over a decade been questioning the value of B.A. degrees in English. Of late many have been voicing their anxieties about the practicality and marketability of the degree, and record numbers of them have felt compelled to drop the major despite their professed interest in English language and literature.

Foreign language requirements for English students: A look at the Teagle report.
Submitted by Tori Lineberry on Thu, 04/09/2009 - 22:46
Reading the Teagle report, I was struck by the statement that studying in a foreign language is essential for an English student’s success. At UNC, as well as at many other academic institutions, an advanced foreign language requirement is what divides the English department from the Comparative Literature department, providing students with the option of choosing to study literature in another language or focusing on texts in English.
