Overview

At English from Hobart and William Smith Colleges you might analyze a medieval poem or produce your own piece of flash fiction. You might consider literature's relationship to historic social change or trace its role in contemporary political conflict. You will investigate the meaning of life, build unassailable arguments, and find your own voice.

Students majoring or minoring in English gain the critical reading, thinking, writing, and communications skills necessary for bright futures in a wide range of fields.

Careers

Our majors go on to careers in education, law, business, publishing, non-profit work, organizing, filmmaking, information technology, journalism, and the arts. We are proud that several of our students have been awarded U.S. Student Fulbright Awards over the years.
