Bachelor Degree in English

Students who major in English study a liberal arts curriculum with an emphasis on literature and composition. Within this curriculum, concentrations can be selected in one of the following: communications, literature, theater, media or pre-law. Any one of these components can be combined with a certification in secondary education.

Due to the broad-based study of the liberal arts and the emphasis on writing and analysis, a degree in English prepares students for a variety of careers and graduate programs. Current GMC graduates of the English program are currently employed attorneys, editors, journalists, public relations directors, sales directors, software specialists and teachers.
