An English major opens an increasing
number of career doors as writing, reading and analytical skills
become more important in our information-based economy. Many
of the Department’s graduates go on to teach in public
or private schools, while others pursue advanced degrees that
lead to college teaching careers. Still others work in journalism
(including the burgeoning field of online journalism), publishing,
technical writing, government, and social service organizations.
A background in English is attractive to law schools, business
and medical schools, as well as to employers in the sciences
and industry.
