Program Description
English majors have a competitive edge in the job market and higher education. Employers and universities both seek people with effective communication and critical thinking skills; the course work in English provides practice in both.
While the study of writing obviously leads to improved written communication, literary analysis can result in other desired traits, such as an increased ability to understand people, greater ease interacting with diverse populations, and creative problem solving skills.
A degree in English serves as a solid, broad base for many careers.
