An English major covers literature (American, British, world, multicultural), creative writing, rhetoric and composition, and literary theory. Programs typically include a tracking choice, Literature, Creative Writing, Professional Writing, or Secondary Education, plus a senior research thesis or portfolio. The major builds skills (writing, analysis, evidence-based argument) that transfer broadly across professional fields.
English graduates work in publishing, journalism, marketing/content, technical writing, education, and law (English is a common pre-law major). The major pairs well with a minor in Communications, Marketing, or a foreign language.
