The English/English Education program at Xavier University has been designed to provide students with several outcomes:
1. It prepares students to teach English at the high school level.
2. It certifies students to teach English in Louisiana at grades 7-12, with a secondary area in Social Studies.
3. With 48 hours in English, it also prepares students to enter a masters or Ph.D. program in English, comparative literature, African American studies, women's studies, cultural studies, diaspora studies, creative writing, technical writing, linguistics, or any of the humanities, including education.
In their junior year, students begin field experiences in local schools and complete their program with nine hours of supervised student teaching.
The English/English Education has been accredited by the state and by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and by the National Council Teachers of English (NCTE).
