Students majoring in English are introduced to a multitude of cultural, historical, political and critical perspectives as they pursue one or more of the following concentrations: British and Anglophone Literature, American Literature, Media, Rhetorical and Cultural Studies, and Creative Writing (fiction, poetry, or non-fiction). Regardless the concentration, students leave the major with increased research skills and heightened theoretical acumen. They also graduate with sharpened analytical abilities, and, of course, a deeper sense of what makes for effective communication, both in oral and written forms, all of which are in high demand in the private and public employment sectors. As an important complement to our curriculum, most of our majors also participate in a robust Internship program. Interns receive hands-on work experience in such places as ESPN, Amnesty International USA, the Field Museum, McGraw-Hill, NBC,Today's Chicago Woman magazine, Newberry Library, the Council on American-Islamic Association, and the Daily Heraldnewspaper, to name but a few opportunities.
