English

Yes, our global economy and the industries that shape it have changed spectacularly over the last couple decades, but even the most advanced technology companies need employees who see the big picture, who can tell the whole story, who understand that there’s nothing more human or more valuable than communicating with clarity and compassion.

What We Do

That’s where you come in. McDaniel’s English majors graduate prepared for success in traditional fields like education, law, and journalism, but also for jobs in new fields like digital marketing and content development. As an English major, you’ll:

• read a broad variety of literatures in English in their historical, social, cultural, political, economic, and psychological contexts;
• write within scholarly and creative genres; and
• analyze and evaluate oral, written, and visual modes of expression through the use of literary and rhetorical theory.
• Produce print and digital texts designed for multiple audiences.

Impressive Outcomes

An English degree from McDaniel College prepares students for employment in a variety of fields and provides them the tools to be successful in their jobs.
