English and Humanities teach the ability to communicate.
In today's world of near-continuous communication from numerous sources and formats, the ability to read critically and to write clearly gives you a measure of control over our increasingly-complex environment. The close study of language and cultivating the art of deep, close reading is a necessary skill to decode and sort through the mass of information available. You will leave our English classes, and your college education, as a much richer, deeper, and more patient, careful thinker.
English and Humanities graduates get good jobs.
Yes, they really do. In fact, an English degree on your résumé shows employers that you can read, write, think critically, think creatively, speak clearly, and that you have the tools to tackle complex ideas and to solve complex problems. In the globally-connected job market of today, now more than ever, employers are looking for careful readers and excellent writers.
