English is an excellent choice for students interested in education, business, law, publishing, and social work.
The English major is designed to prepare students for graduate study in the field; those seeking a foundation for postgraduate work or study in fields related to English (e.g., education, journalism, communications, editing and publishing, law, theater); and those who want a humanistic base in reading, thinking, and writing for a liberal arts education.
As majors in English at Tusculum College, students will have access to a varied group of experts engaged in exploring different aspects of literature and writing.
