Also, USM's foreign language exchange programs and the department's own exchange program with Nijmegen University in Holland offer rewarding opportunities for studying abroad. Adjunct instructors significantly complement the program with interests as diverse as Women's Studies, Musical Composition, Irish Literature, and Newswriting. We are proud that so many of them choose to return to our program year after year. They promote interest in our program, have had writing competitions, have provided scholarships to the Stonecoast Writing Conference, provide input to faculty searches, and help sponsor visiting speakers. The English Department is fortunate to have such dedicated, creative, and enthusiastic student support.
English majors have careers in many areas, usually in business, teaching, and other professions.
More and more majors are entering medical, law, and academic graduate schools, having found that the breadth of experience English study provides prepares them to work successfully in diverse fields. USM English majors have been strong candidates for admission to the country's finest graduate English programs.
