Learning Outcomes

English classes teach students to engage critically with various kinds of “texts”: from daily language use to technical manuals, from Shakespearean drama to film, from lyric poetry to children’s literature. As a result, English majors learn:

How to work critically and creatively with a diverse array of complex ideas and texts
How to construct effective written texts of various kinds
How to think flexibly about the world we occupy and to adapt written and oral communication accordingly
How to move easily and confidently between the realms of written, spoken, visual, and electronic communication
How to operate and communicate effectively across disciplines in the humanities and sciences
How to understand the complex interactions between written texts and social worlds (real and virtual)
How to locate, critically analyze, and make use of research materials

How to engage with a variety of writing and digital technologies

Careers

Because advanced literacy skills are in high demand, students find careers in fields such as teaching, technical/professional writing, creative writing, editing, publishing, advertising, public relations, and nonprofits, as well as in business, financial services, and banking. Others pursue advanced degrees in literature, law, medicine, teaching, and business administration.
