Students in English learn how to think critically, reason carefully, communicate effectively, and appreciate excellent writing and thinking. The education they receive provides them with the skills and experiences that prepare them for graduate and professional schools and for careers in technical and professional writing, editing and publishing, teaching, management, information services and technology, public relations, arts and humanities administration, government, philanthropic and not-for-profit agencies, among other fields.
