Enlish majors are a diverse group. Like many DePaul students, they often hold outside jobs. An increasing number take advantage of curricular opportunities such as internships, study abroad programs, and service learning courses.
Many extracurricular opportunities are available.
English majors interested in writing and publishing may volunteer to work on Threshold, the department's annual magazine of the arts. The department's Writers Reading series and the Visiting Writer program allow students to hear and speak with a variety of well-known writers. And each year, many students join DePaul's chapter of Sigma Tau Delta, the national English Honor Society. Graduate students in English enroll in either the M.A. in English or the M.A. in Writing program. To accommodate the many working adults in these programs, all graduate courses are offered in the evenins or on weekends.
