As an English major, you'll read and discuss some of the best literature ever written. Explore the works of Shakespeare and Milton, the authors of the Renaissance and every century leading right up to our own. Perhaps the greatest reward of majoring in English is the cultivation of your writing and critical thinking skills. You can hone your writing abilities with composition courses, news writing and editorial courses, magazine writing, creative writing and business communication.
English majors go into every field imaginable.
The communication skills you develop here will find an application in marketing and advertising, publishing, business communications, education, business administration, and many other careers. We study religions from an academic point of view. The goal is to learn about, and make sense of, religious lives and religious institutions. The issues raised by the study of religion are not easy ones. To investigate these issues requires factual discovery and conceptual insight.
