Overview

Except in the most technical professions, a candidate who is well read and who has a superior comprehension and writing skills is valued above others by employers. An English degree emphasizes one of the most positive advantages of a college education—the solid, adaptable communication skills that get you through university are attractive to potential employers.

English majors from University of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS) help maintain high standards of accuracy, clarity, and cogency of the language used in any workplace he/she enters. An English degree isn’t ‘job training’, but an education in the English language and what’s been created from it. Your college degree will help you build important research and critical thinking skills. You’ll learn to discern what is important and synthesize that information for the use of others.
