An English major provides students with a truly liberal arts education.
English majors find careers in nearly every profession.
Alumni have careers in technical writing, publishing, journalism, public relations, public service organizations, financial institutions, libraries, museums, education - in short, in professions of all kinds. English is also an excellant second major. People who hire in the scientific, industrial, and business professions want employees who can think analytically and creatively and who can communicate their ideas effectively, typical strengths of an English major.
