The English major prepares students for a wide array of career opportunities. Many
English majors enter the workplace immediately after graduation, working in business,
publications, industry, public service, government, teaching, or the communication
field. Their strong communication and analytical skills consequently make them adaptable
to a variety of careers where such skills are essential, enabling them to move into
management and leadership positions. Other students go on to advanced study: an English
major is excellent preparation for continued graduate or professional training in
areas such as English, law, political science/government, public administration, psychology,
counseling, communications, and religious studies.
