Take a minute to look at the Liberal Arts core requirements and compare course numbers to courses in your catalog. Choose some of the classes you think you might be interested in. You may still be undecided about which major you are most interested in. Many of the classes will satisfy requirements in more than one major. Sometime during the first year, you may be ready to decide on one of the four English majors.
Many people think English graduates either teach or write.
Of course many do, but graduates also excel in many other areas. Ability to communicate, both in writing and orally Grammatical accuracy Editing and re-writing skills Ability to analyze and interpret data Documentation skills Creativity Foreign language ability Ability to present a clear and logical argument Understanding of human motivation Because English majors have learned how to write and communicate well, and are good problem solvers, they work in many different fields, including sales, management, advertising, and many more. Additionally, an English degree is an excellent preparation for graduate school, including law, business, and medical schools, as well as graduate school in English. If you have specific ideas of what you might like to do after college, you should consult with your academic adviser and career counselors to develop an appropriate plan of study. If you don't have a specific career plan, you should begin your career research during your first year.
