The English Department at California State Northridge has developed an especially strong program for training teachers in freshman composition.
Composition is the most univerally required course in colleges and universities today.
If you are interested in preparing for a teaching career, especially in post-secondary education, you will want to apply. Many of our TAs go on to teach part-time in area community colleges or at CSUN itself. A few have worked into full-time positions, even in today's extremely competitive job market. Sometimes, we've also admitted promising undergraduate English majors at CSUN who are entering the graduate program English the following year. Notices for application are posted in the English Department and announced in graduate classes in late October.
