Overview

Employers in all fields want to hire people who can work independently, exercise creativity, think analytically, and communicate clearly. English majors go on to rewarding careers as educators, journalists, editors, lawyers, business consultants, public relations specialists, television producers, and more. Internships with local advertising agencies, online and print publications and other businesses will give you valuable real-world experience.

Points of Pride

Majors of the English program at Auburn University at Montgomery have undertaken internships in writing and editing, leading to full-time employment in such well-known organizations as the Alabama Shakespeare Festival, New South Publishing and United Business Media.

The Department is especially successful in working with students to get them in print in off-campus publications with national and even international reach.

AUM English majors have ample opportunity to work with faculty editing or contributing to scholarly articles and books.

Put Your Degree to Work
