A good education in reading, writing, and appreciating the creative arts is the foundation of a vibrant and living society.
The study of literature and writing is a rewarding pursuit for those who appreciate literature for its own sake and enjoy the special pleasures of humanistic study. Students who major in English may be determined to pursue an academic career, or perhaps hope to become a writer, or may not yet be sure what to do after college.
A degree in English can open many doors of opportunity. A degree in English provides students with skills for a variety of positions in business, research, education, publishing, finance, or in the cultural, entertainment, communications and health care industries.
English majors very often seek out careers in publishing, public relations, advertising, media or teaching. Occupations to be considered are copywriter, columnist, commentator, critic, editor, production assistant, technical writer, reporter, correspondent, public relations representative or author.
