English MajorsWhat are you going to do with your major? |
Remember, a liberal arts degree opens a vast array of career choices and opportunities. Your degree has prepared you to approach problems analytically, think critically about ideas, research, organize your thoughts, and write about your findings. Your only limitation is thinking that you are only qualified for the traditional jobs in a selected major. “The staying power of English as a major is based on its ability to meet our basic need for communication, for clarity, for exchange of meaning to get our work done correctly, efficiently, and with some degree of harmony.” |
