Open the door to infinite possibilities.
Majoring in English sharpens your critical thinking, reading, and communication skills — abilities that will serve you well on any career path.
Become widely versed in literature
Your literary classes will expose you to a wide variety of works by authors from different times, places, and walks of life. Some courses will focus on only one or two authors, while others will invite you to perform comparative analysis of several works related to a single topic.
Study multiple forms of communication
There’s more to English than just literature! You’ll study films, playwriting, linguistics, language development, and multimedia. By exploring how we use language to communicate ideas, you’ll come to understand English as both an art and a science, allowing you to better express your own creative ideas.
Tailor the major to your career goals
You’ll work with your academic advisor to create an English major that suits your needs. If you’re looking to teach English in grades 7-12, you’ll take graduate courses during your senior year. If becoming a writer is your objective, then you’ll take specific classes that concentrate on creative writing in different genres. Whatever your passion, there’s a way to make your degree in English work for you.
Get paid experience
In addition to your classes, you’ll be able to take on paid positions that allow you to build your teaching and leadership skills. These opportunities include internships, departmental assistantships, editing the award-winning literary magazine Morning Glory, and tutoring in the Writing Center.
Go beyond the books themselves
Travel seminars will allow you to experience the locations where great literary works first came to life. By studying up-close the cultures and histories that inspired these works, you’ll gain a more complete understanding of these important writings — and a greater appreciation of them.
Publicly present your research and original works
Performing research, writing critical analysis, and creating original works will all be integral parts of your coursework — the results of which you can present at local, regional, and national conferences. Also, the culmination of your major will be a public presentation of your capstone project.
