English, B.A.
The English major encourages students to develop critical thinking skills and cultivate creative expression while they grow as readers, thinkers, and writers. Students benefit from a renowned faculty, a challenging and innovative curriculum, and internship and study abroad opportunities. The English major provides a strong foundation and focus, but also grants students the flexibility to explore their particular interests in drama, literature, or writing. Graduates of the program have become news editors, publications directors, educational administrators, teachers, librarians, and entrepreneurs. Many have continued their education in graduate or law schools or joined companies like Metropolitan Entertainment, St. Paul-Travelers, The Hartford, and the American Red Cross.
