| The study of English puts students in touch with works of power, beauty and imagination that speak across the centuries, from the Middle Ages to the day before yesterday. In discussing and writing about the ways in which language and literature explore the human condition, expose social issues, shape the emotional life, and give expression to timeless problems, hopes, and desires, students in the English classroom deepen their skills in interpretation, communication and critical perception. One of the most versatile liberal arts degrees, English enables students to pursue careers in law, publishing, broadcasting, writing, public relations, education and many other fields. | |||
