English

At the heart of the English major lies the concern for communicating effectively and creatively. English majors study literature as a creative art, a way of self-discovery including cultures in America and around the world, with special attention to the contributions of women.

English majors often combine English with other majors or minors to prepare themselves for careers in a variety of professional contexts: publications, business, entertainment, not-for-profit agencies, law, library, real estate and community service. English majors can excel in graduate study.

Studying in London at Regent’s College for one semester or for a summer is an option. This experience deepens students’ appreciation for living in another culture and for meeting people from around the world.

One-half of the total credit hours required in the English major or minor must be taken at the College. In addition, students must receive a final grade of “C” or better in all required courses within the English major or minor.
