With their focus on critical thinking, analytical reading, and effective writing, English degree programs provide a foundation for competencies in most professions. Eng-lish is particularly useful in a double major or minor when combined with fields such as business, prelaw, social work, government, psychology, pre-med, and the media. Writing courses help students to communicate clearly, succinctly, and persuasively, while literature studies help students cultivate an appreciation of the great works of our cultural heritage as well as develop superior analytical skills. English alumni work in such diverse careers as stockbroker, copy editor, advertising executive, software developer, reporter, technical writer, high school teacher, and college professor.
