Not all English majors want to be writers.

In fact, you’ll need solid skills in sound writing, clear thinking and strong imagination in a wide range of careers, whether your goal is to go into publishing, advertising, public relations, theater, or film, or even into public policy and administration, banking, retailing or manufacturing,

A Quinnipiac English major provides outstanding preparation for careers in which these skills are required.

You’ll study the various forms of literature through the ages -- from myth to modern novel. You’ll develop various types of writing skills, including electronic journalism. You’ll gain sound experience in critical analysis and research -- essential for graduate programs in law, library science, social work, theology, education, and medicine.

English majors at Quinnipiac are offered opportunities to investigate career options through one-credit, repeatable internships in supervised fieldwork.
