Bachelor of Arts - English

Each Stetson University's English major grows as a reader, writer, thinker, and communicator. Their core curriculum requires students to read in different literary genres and historical periods and to develop their aesthetic appreciation of literature and language. They also will explore literary criticism and theory, and rhetorical theory and practice. In the upper-division classes students will go deeper into literary and writing studies, but they also may choose to write creatively, study the construction of texts in three-dimensional and digital space, develop their understanding of pedagogy and language, or investigate the intersections of ideas, texts, and worlds.

Stetson University's English majors have followed a variety of career paths: in no particular order, consider law, higher education, writing, teaching, public relations, marketing, business, journalism, editing, social media account management, and more. The English major pairs well with complementary minors, whether that’s one with business, nonprofit, or governmental applicability like marketing or environmental studies, or one with congruent intellectual concerns like history, philosophy, or political science.
