ENGLISH AT MSU DENVER
Our English program is sharp, diverse and the perfect springboard for a rewarding career
English studies is a big field, including English education, literature, creative writing, composition and rhetoric, linguistics, and film and media. Our diverse classes offer students more choices and more opportunities to explore their interests. Students hone critical reading and writing skills. They seek answers to the difficult questions. They create. They lead.
Employers notice the depth of knowledge that students with English degrees bring to business. In "Want a Job with the English Degree?," Paul T. Corrigan, blogger and associate professor at Southeastern University, offers suggestions for how English majors might turn studying what they love into viable long-term career paths.
Study what you love, graduate on time, maximize career flexibility, and turn classroom learning into real-world knowhow.
“I’ve had wonderful professors who’ve inspired me to continue my studies and really get the best out of my education.”
Janet Hernandez, English B.A. '17
First student Fulbright in MSU Denver's school history
