Overview

The English programme at Hood College offers three concentrations—literature, creative writing and theatre; all culminate in an intensely focused and collegial senior seminar that encourages students to enter more closely into the scholarly dialogues that interest them most.

What You’ll Learn

What can you do with a degree in English? Better to ask what you can’t do: in learning how to think critically, write clearly and speak thoughtfully, you are prepared not for one specific and limited job, but rather for a career path that can respond to rapidly changing employment opportunities. Some of our majors pursue graduate degrees at major universities; others work in nonprofit corporations, publishing firms, law firms, theatre troupes and libraries. The small, student-focused classes we offer at Hood allow for the kind of faculty mentoring and references that help our graduates find careers that are not only successful but personally rewarding.
