We assert that the value of literature goes far beyond the pages of a book or the walls of a classroom. We believe that students who study literature will develop versatile, 21st century skills that can be applied to a wide range of personal, professional and academic situations.

"There is a big misconception a lot of people have about majoring in English that I myself didn’t realize [...] Majoring in English does not mean your options are limited to teaching literature or writing novels (but if that’s what you want to do, then go for it!) - there are actually countless other careers available to English majors.
