What Is a Great College that offers literature teaching degrees?
There is no such thing as a literature teaching degree. If you want to teach English literature at the high school level, you should do a teaching degree with a specialization in secondary English education. You can do that at virtually any state university, which is usually the best option for students who want to be teachers. If you want to teach literature as a professor, you should do an English major and then plan to receive at *least* a Master’s degree in the subject as well.
There are, of course, other routes that are less common — doing an English degree and then seeing alternative certification for public school teaching, or doing a non-English major but still going to grad school for it — but those are the most common paths.
In terms of the best English programs, it’s a question most people find fairly impossible to answer due to the many differences between programs as well as the fact that there’s an English department at virtually every college in the country, even technical schools, so comparing them can be a nightmare. The best advice I can give you is to figure out what focus you’d like — do you want to study American literature, 18th century literature, world literature, comparative literature, women’s literature, etc. — and then find a program that specializes in that. For English degrees, it’s usually easier to find a group of colleges that you like and then compare their English departments — don’t look for a department and then compare colleges. Again, most colleges have English departments, and most are strong enough to satisfy students.
