"I didn't expect to get real experience this early, but by my sophomore year I was already working on projects that felt like actual marketing work. It made me feel confident that I'm ready for what comes next."Alex WilcoxonMarketing | Junior
The English major with an emphasis in Literary and Cultural Studies is a great major for students who love literature and wish to deepen their understanding of literary art, culture, and what it means to be human. It's a great major for students who are preparing for graduate study in library science school, law school, or graduate school in English.
