Reading and Writing in the Information Age
Courses in English enhance literary appreciation and interpretation and refine analytical and writing skills, techniques which help students become successful and productive adults. English courses also acknowledge the value of the entire spectrum of the liberal arts: the other humanities, performing arts, sciences, social sciences and business. An English major provides students with a truly liberal arts education.
English majors find careers in nearly every profession. Alumni have careers in technical writing, publishing, journalism, public relations, public service organizations, financial institutions, libraries, museums, education—in short, in professions of all kinds.
English is also an excellent second major. People who hire in the scientific, industrial, and business professions want employees who can think analytically and creatively and who can communicate their ideas effectively, typical strengths of an English major.
