A concentration in English prepares students for transfer to a four-year college or
university to pursue a variety of majors, including literature, linguistics, rhetoric,
creative writing, journalism, and media/ communications. This background is also relevant
for students who are considering graduate-level education in law or education. A bachelor’s
degree is essential to obtain entry-level positions in teaching, technical or specialized
writing, and media reporting. Many opportunities exist for individuals with bachelor’s
degrees in English, such as careers in schools, colleges, newspapers, advertising
agencies, publishing firms, libraries, radio and television stations, public relations
firms, legal agencies, business, and research and development. For more information,
