Prepare Your Path
Thomas More College offers you two options for a Bachelor of Arts in English. You can complete the traditional English major with a focus on British and American literature, or an English major in Creative Writing, which features a variety of writing workshops along with literary studies. Pairing an English major with another degree makes you that much more marketable. Some of our recent English graduates also hold degrees in psychology, communications, theater, art, theology and biology.
We are proud of the emphasis we place on hands-on job experience. Internships and networking opportunities in news reporting, copy editing, literary magazine publication, grant writing, literacy programs and tutoring, among others, help your portfolio stand out when it's time to interview for your first fulltime job. No matter what path you choose, you'll develop skills to succeed in the job market or graduate school program.
