A degree in English equips students with a variety of highly marketable transferable skills. From written and verbal communication to analytical thinking and research skills, both major coursework and liberal studies classes help students to develop, fine tune, and exemplify the skills employers are seeking in new hires.
Here are some areas English majors might consider:
Writing and Editing
Public Relations and Advertising
Education
Technical Writing
Law
English majors have also found success in a much wider variety of professions, such as counseling, project management, consulting, higher education administration, and more.
