Pursuing a degree or career in English is a road less traveled.
From legendary writers Charles Dickens and Mark Twain, to contemporary legends R.K. Dowling and Christopher Hitchens, these authors all have something in common: their mastery of English and unique approach to the audience.
Approximately 2% of bachelor degrees awarded every year are to students majoring in English, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. Needless to say, pursuing a degree or career in English language and literature is a road less traveled.
With your degree, words aren't just a way to communicate; they artfully and effectively present a story, memory, historical moment, or recent event.
Use our robust list of English major scholarships to help launch your academic journey so that one day you may become a writer, teacher, publisher, paralegal, speechwriter or whatever your penmanship desires.
