Careers & Outcomes

What can I do with an English Major?

An English major opens doors to a multitude of career paths. Use your degree in fields as diverse as business, computer science, music, law, ministry, policy, the arts, and publishing. With the knowledge and skills you gain from your degree, you will be prepared to engage and serve the world — with passion and truth.

  • Write, edit, or design for universities, government agencies, businesses, non-profits, and media outlets.
  • Work in marketing, publishing, or politics.
  • Teach writing or literature at any level, or specialize in TESOL (Teaching English as a Second Language).
  • Add a pre-law specialization, and use your writing and researching skills in pursuit of a law degree.
  • Pursue ministry in the pulpit, with a non-profit or through translation work.
  • Add a credential in biology, computer science, graphic design, or another field and specialize in technical communication, including writing for engineering firms, healthcare industries, computer systems design companies, software publishers, and more.

The writing skills I developed at ÃÛÌÒapp as an English major have been central to the opportunities I've had in my career — I now get to write a newsletter for hundreds of thousands of subscribers and develop research on emerging tech trends for leading corporate strategy teams.
