Overview

We see you tucking a novel into your bag wherever you go and scribbling away in a journal with a far-off look in your eye. And we all know who will win the fight about where to put the punctuation marks in your massive group project report. But as you already know, there’s more to majoring in English than earning another spelling bee trophy – a lot more!

Key Facts

DYK that in a recent study conducted by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, strong written communication skills came in as the third most desired quality of all employers, just after leadership skills and the ability to work as a team member. Don’t worry, as a major in the English program of Christian Brothers University you’ll have plenty of time to develop all of those areas to make you a workplace rockstar.

You’ll also be more than ready to enter law school or graduate programs. In fact, our 2018 English grads had multiple acceptance letters in hand with competitive funding offers.

Wherever you want to go, coming to CBU with a love of reading and writing will take you farther than you may even be able to imagine.
