<p>I don’t see why not…</p>
<p>When you become an English major, no one cares what courses you took in high school. You will be expected to have very good to excellent writing skills right at the start. You should be able to read an 800 page novel without worry. You should be attuned to picking up subtleties in language. It doesn’t matter how you acquired those skills, just that you have them.</p>
<p>AP Language and Composition and strong literature classes (studying essential works from British literature, American literature, and World literature) should be part of your HS schedule, perhaps supplemented with a Creative writing class or another writing class.
You should read for pleasure, enjoy going to the theater (if only your HS plays) or being part of the drama club, see a lot of movies including foreign films.
You could certainly be an English major with these classes but for English majors the trick is to be very, very good and preferably attend a very good college for English (mostly LACs for the undergraduate attention to discussing/editing, plus universities that have technical writing programs.)
If your goal is to be a Language Arts Teacher, you’d need to look at the state test’s requirements and what percentage majors from each university pass (99-100% would be a good indication), plus any other requirements (many States now require a 1-year professional master).
If your goal is to prepare for Law School, you should supplement your English major with classes in economics, political science/government, perhaps philosophy.</p>
