how many years does it takes to have a major in english litterature?

Question

please give answers.i want to know.

Answer 1

4 years. One of my current teachers has a major in that and he said it took him 4 years. You get a lot of money from that.

Answer 2

Well, if you go to a typical university, youll have to take about 4 to 5 years worth of classes...they require you take General Education Credits/Classes (GECs) which are your basic math, science, history, etc. in addition to what your focus will be. To take all of those you usually end up spending between 1.5 and 2 years, then you have the remaining time to take major and minor classes.

By the way, THINK really long and hard before you major in English literature...make sure you know EXACTLY what you want to do or have some really great backup plans...if you want to teach, make sure you get into a program where they will have that as part of your 4 or 5 year prgram. There aren't tons of places who are just begging for someone who graduated who knows literature and not much else. (I graduated with an English degree and while I could get jobs at banks and businesses b/c I had good business skills, I didn't have the "experience" either in or outside the classroom that would make me competitive right away)

Answer 3

It depends on the college or university. At the school I work at, to earn a baccalaureate degree, you need to earn 124 credit hours. For some people they graduate in 4 years, but for most it takes 5 years.

Full-time enrollment at most colleges and universities on a semester calendar system is 12 credits. However, you may opt to take 18 credits during one semester. It's really up to you and how much time and effort you want to put into your studies. Some students also register for coursework during the intersession (between the Fall and Spring semester) or during the summer break.

Check with the college or university you're interested in to see what the graduation requirements are. You may want to sit with an adviser in the English Literature department to go over your college plans.

Best wishes!

Answer 4

Every major for a bachelor's degree is designed to take four years; it does take many people longer, either because they took additional courses along the way (often if they changed their major) or because they didn't pass or finish some courses and needed to retake them. On some occasions, it takes people longer to finish because the school doesn't offer enough sections of required courses, so that not all students can take what they want when they want. That generally happens when there are budget crunches at the school, and it is something schools really try to avoid because it gives them a bad reputation.

Answer 5

Depends on the college -- it can probably be done in 4 years, maybe 5 if the college demands you have more credits...

Answer 6

4 to 5 yrs. depending on if u go full time or part time.
