The English Program at Macon State College is committed to preparing graduates who are reflective professionals with an exceptionally strong content knowledge, a commitment to their chosen professions, a willingness to maintain their professional development long after they graduate, and a desire to use their professional expertise to provide service within their communities. Regardless of the track that the student chooses, the goal is the same. The program offers two tracks: a traditional English track and an English education track. The traditional track prepares students interested in careers requiring a foundation in language and communications skills, such as business, the arts, technical writing, public relations and law. The education track will prepare students to teach English at the high school level and address the ever growing need for highly qualified teachers.
