What Can You Do With An English Degree?

Perhaps more than any other major, English provides for an amazing variety of career paths and opportunities.

Strong language skills frequently prove useful in applications seldom considered related to English, and many other employers and industries have come to recognize the benefits an English major can bring to a company. English majors aren't just novelists or poets or teachers. Many English majors end up doing these things of course, but it's not the only way to succeed with your English degree. EMU English majors study reading and writing in a lot of different ways, including English education, literature, writing, linguistics, journalism, and public relations.

With an English degree, you offer the business world communication skills to be a project manager, language skills to be an editor, and computer knowledge to be an information designer. The possibilities are endless.

So enjoy your English major and be prepared to land your ideal job!
