English majors not only learn how to improve their reading and writing skills—they also gain numerous marketable job skills. 

Our students hone their public speaking and time management skills and learn how to collaborate, research, and problem solve, gaining cultural awareness in the process.


Flexible career choices. Valuable career skills.
