English

The Bachelor of Arts in English encourages students to use language both persuasively and creatively and to read, think, and write critically in any setting. English majors go on to graduate school in literature and creative writing, law, or business, or to success in a variety of professions including teaching at the secondary level, journalism, consulting, entrepreneurship, and work in government and non-profit organizations or any other field that requires high-level writing, organization, and creative thinking abilities.

English majors are encouraged to explore broadly within the liberal arts curriculum, complementing their reading, writing, and critical thinking skills with expertise in business, media and web design, psychology, natural science, or any of the many other disciplines that will both a) increase the depth of the knowledge they can bring to bear on literary analysis and b) further improve their marketability after graduation.
