Overview

This Valparaiso University core strengthens communication and critical-thinking skills while introducing the Creative Writing student to global cultures and traditions.

Majors in Creative Writing must also complete either a minor in their chosen field of study, or the 40-credit (rather than the 33-credit) major in English.

Career Paths

Many careers are open to students who graduate with a major in English. Medical and law schools appreciate a strong background in English. Top business executives want associates who are skilled at oral and written expression.

Communications specialists in all fields require excellent analytic, research, and writing skills, as well as proficiency in digital and social media. The study of English can equip you for all of these things.

Graduates have become successful attorneys, ministers, journalists, researchers, communication specialists in business, health care, and non-profit sectors, specialists in library and information science, creative writers, and grant writers.
