<p>From descriptions on princetonreview and collegeboard, the English Composition major sounds like it would help me become what I want to be, a great sports writer (for right now at least). My questions are 1. What exactly does an English Composition major do? 2. Will the major indeed like the sites say make me an awesome writer? and 3. Would this major make sense along with a Journalism major, seeing as I hope to write for the best sports magazines and newspapers someday. Thanks!</p>
<p>Anyone please??</p>
<p>You could just be an english major or, if the school offers it, journalism.</p>
<p>There is an english composition AP, but that's basically just organizing your writing and learning grammar.</p>
<p>Perhaps you're thinking of comparative lit?</p>
<p>These are where I found the major. Does anyone know more about this from personal experience?</p>
<p>Anyone please? I'm curious about this.</p>
<p>I have a Ph.D. in English and teach English Composition among many other things. From looking at the links you provided I would guess that this major (which I have never heard of) is a track in a traditional English major. A few courses in composition seem fine to me, but as an entire major this just seems way too restrictive (and boring). Missing here are any notion of history and cultural context.</p>
<p>Thanks. Would it make more sense as a minor to help polish my writing skills? Any other opinions would be great.</p>
<p>A standard English or Journalism major would include enough classes on writing to satisfy you and also offer historical/social/political/cultural context and awareness.</p>
