OVERVIEW OF MAJOR<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

By majoring in English, students devote themselves to studying human expression: how people of different times and cultures have understood the world and used the English language to explore, question, and change it. English majors will develop their abilities to read and interpret works of literature; to understand the interplay of words, meaning, culture, and society; and to express themselves effectively in speech and in writing. Graduates with English degrees pursue exciting careers in publishing, marketing, education, law, banking, high-tech, and many other fields. To declare a major in English, students should contact the department chair.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
