Overview

Learn to analyze literature alongside professors who share your passion for the printed page. Develop a global mindset by studying a diverse range of authors from different cultures and communities.

Majors of the English Literature program of St. Edward's University are good thinkers and communicators who can apply those skills in any kind of job. We’ll help you discover what that means for you: pursuing a career in publishing in New York City? Working for a literary journal and teaching teenagers to express themselves through poetry? Going into business, where your analytical and communication skills are in high demand? You’ll have all these options, and more.

Plus, you’ll be in Austin, home to the Texas Book Festival, the state’s largest independent bookstore, and a brand-new Central Library that’s generating serious buzz.
