“English majors are used to getting a tough assignment, figuring it out, and getting it done” (The Small Business Bible).
English majors are experts in the art and science of words; this gives
you skills to expand your imaginative potential and solve real-world
problems. English journalists report, write and produce innovative
stories across multiple platforms. English teachers create multi-media
lessons to bring literature to life in the classroom. Linguists detect
the mechanisms, and the magic, that make language work. Creative writers
exercise the craft of writing, reading and imagining as literary
artists. Studying literature inspires different ways of living in and
imagining the world; it sharpens and expands the mind, and equips you to
succeed in a wide variety of careers, including law and the next new
start-up, requiring expertise in critical thinking, problem solving and
writing persuasively.
