English
The English (Bachelor of Arts) degree provides students a solid foundation of reading, writing, and analytical skills. Students have the flexibility to choose courses from among the range of fields that make up English today: literature, creative writing, multicultural and transnational literature, technical and professional communication, linguistics, rhetoric and composition, folklore, and film studies. Students become strong writers and critical thinkers with the skills to succeed in many different career fields. Graduates have gone on to careers in government, business, law, the non-profit sector, healthcare, journalism, library science, higher education, teaching, and social work, among many others.
The Professional Writing and Information Design (Bachelor of Science) degree prepares students for careers in writing and designing information for industry, science, technology, engineering, government, and health contexts; editing and publishing; user experience and usability; information design, documentation, content creation, and document management. Professional communication and information specialists bridge the gap between subject matter experts (e.g., scientists and engineers) and those who must understand or implement their ideas. These information professionals are in demand by social media and web development companies; computer software and hardware companies; consumer electronics distributors; the pharmaceutical, medical, financial services industries; government agencies to name a few.
