What Can You Do With an English Major?
“Being an English major taught me to be fearless,” says Lauren Culley ‘05. That fearlessness helped her found the wildly popular Columbus-based coffee shop, Fox in the Snow.
Molly Becker ’13 stresses that what she learned in her English major, clarity and concision, is important in any work setting, but it’s likely especially helpful in her work with the editorial team for the Scripps National Spelling Bee.
Sarah Bach ’21 strongly believes the English major prepared her to enter a competitive work force—not only did she learn the writing and analysis skills that helped her land a job, she also learned the rhetorical concepts that allow her to excel in her SEO work.
