The study of English provides opportunities to explore the worlds of literature and culture. English as a major is versatile and helps you develop skills useful in many career fields including a variety of positions in business, government, research, education, publishing, as well as in the cultural, entertainment, and communications industries. Your major is only one of many variables to be considered when developing career plans. Many careers do not require a specific major, but rather a wide range of demonstrated skills and accomplishments.
