    Career

    An English major serves as excellent preparation for careers in at least four areas. Many of our majors pursue a career in teaching, particularly secondary education. Some of our majors choose further graduate study in English, leading to an academic career as a literary scholar and university professor. Aside from teaching, the English major is a superb preparation for a career in law, since the skills in communication, interpreting texts, and critical thinking that one develops in literary studies are essential. Outside of the most apparent career possibilities, English majors also find work in library science, advertising, public relations, and other writing fields, especially technical writing.
