The Department of English, Theatre, and Languages of The University of
North Carolina at Pembroke exists for the common good of its students, of the
campus community, and of a rational and humane society. The Department offers distinctive,
realistically conceived, and well‑executed programs for (1) the English
major; (2) the student seeking North Carolina Teacher Licensure in English,
grades 9‑12 (program approved by NCTE), or ESL Add-On Licensure; (3) the
Theatre major; (4) the Spanish major; (5) the General Education student, served
by a strong Composition program and a wide choice of courses; (6) the Education
major seeking an academic concentration in English or Spanish; (7) the
student majoring in another subject who
wishes to develop a minor in an area of English, Theatre, and Languages or
simply to choose an elective or two; and (8) the in‑service teacher, or
college graduate with a background in English or a related discipline, seeking
post‑graduate work in English Education.
The Department recognizes that each program has a distinctive philosophy
and specific objectives, which are made clear to students involved in each
program.
The Department office offers information
about advisement and screening procedures for English majors, teacher licensure
candidates in English, and Theatre majors.
Also available is information about academic concentrations in English and
Spanish and minors in Creative Writing, English, French, Literature, Spanish, Speech,
TESOL, Theatre, and Writing. These are offered to all students enrolled at the
University.
Pembroke Magazine, housed
in the Department of English, Theatre, and Languages and founded in 1969 by the
late Norman Macleod while he was at UNC Pembroke, focuses on
The University Theatre, a
performance program housed in the Givens Performing Arts Center, provides a practical
laboratory for the theoretical and artistic components of the Theatre Program
of the Department.
The English, Theatre, and
Languages Department recommends that all of its majors study a foreign language
throughout their college careers; six semester hours (or equivalent competency)
are required.
A grade of C (2.0) in both ENG
1050 (Composition I) and ENG 1060 (Composition II) is prerequisite to all literature
and language courses at the 2000 level
and above except for THE 2500
(Introduction to Theatre). All full‑time
students enroll in Composition I during their first semester of full‑time
study and continue consecutively thereafter until they successfully complete
both ENG 1050 and ENG 1060.
