The Integrated Language Arts Licensure Program is a professional teaching major in the
language arts. Unlike previous certification programs that focused on single content areas,
students in this program complete a comprehensive array of courses in the field of
literature and communications. Students, for example, take courses in Shakespeare, as well
as Mass Media. In addition, courses on pedagogy and effective teaching are also an
important component to this program. Technological advancements and an emphasis on lifelong
learning permeate the program; thereby, creating a highly competitive and comprehensive
degree that benefits students in the short and long term.
