Best CSU for English Literature Major?

<p>Hello, I am currently a community college student and I will be able to transfer to a CSU for Fall 2014. My major is English Literature and I want to be a high school English teacher, also I would like to teach English abroad.
Which CSU has the best English department and teaching program? I was originally looking into CSU Monterey but it turns out they don't even have an English department!</p>

<p>From Sonoma State’s Website:
The Department of English is one of the university’s largest. Students who wish to major in English may choose one of three plans, each of which provides a coherent program with a particular emphasis. After a core of required courses, students will follow programs leading to a Bachelor of Arts in English degree with a concentration in English and American Literature, Creative Writing, or English Education (that is, preparation for students entering post-baccalaureate English Single Subject teacher credentialing programs). The English Department offers one of Sonoma State University’s most robust graduate programs; the M. A. in English offers students the choice of an emphasis in literary criticism, creative writing, or rhetoric and English education.</p>

<p>Sonoma State has a really strong education department and it might be a good option to get your degree and credential. I don’t know if you are looking to study abroad or just teaching abroad, but SSU also had a nice study abroad program which might be an option.</p>

<p>As Fluteloop says, Sonoma is really strong in both. For incoming freshmen, they have an accelerated credential program that allows you to teach after just 4 years (BA included). </p>

<p>It is also a really pretty campus with a private feel.</p>

<p>I don’t know what they do for transfers but, they would be high on my list.</p>

<p>FYI, i know Fullerton has a really good credential program.</p>
