English Major Advising

Majoring in English facilitates an understanding of the complex connections between language and society, culture, history, and art. Few educational experiences are more powerful than a first-hand encounter with a different culture.

Study abroad is an exciting way to discover unique approaches to the study of literature while enhancing your professional and personal skills. Through study abroad you can experience first-hand the cultures that create literature and gain a new perspective on the world’s use of language.

As an English major, many study abroad options are available for you.  From short-term, faculty-led programs to full-year enrollment at a foreign university, there are plenty of opportunities to earn credit toward emphasis areas and historical period requirements.

You can also fulfill English elective requirements, take General Education classes, or explore general electives in subjects that interest you. Other exciting opportunities include language study and internships.
