Employers and graduate schools welcome people who can communicate effectively. You can combine an English major with one of our many other majors , giving you a competitive edge. For instance, some of our English majors have doubled with political science, art, business, psychology, biology, French, or computer science. When you're competing for a job or a spot at a graduate school, a double major that includes English offers a powerful advantage.
Scholarships are available for new and continuing English majors.
