What can you do with an English degree? Perhaps a better question is, what can't you do? Prepare for graduate school or a career as an author, screenwriter, entrepreneur, lawyer, politician, journalist, teacher — there are no limits! And while you're at it, gain essential insights into human nature and thought, and an appreciation of the written word as a mode of expression.

Immerse yourself in literature.

Whether you're embarking on literary tours of the United Kingdom, Europe or Latin America; catching some professional regional theatre; or hanging with some friends at a local coffeehouse reading — as an English major at Briar Cliff, you'll be part of a close family of faculty and students who support one another’s efforts to dream big and to achieve!

Personalize your degree.

Choose an emphasis, and we'll make sure your degree is tailor-made to fit your career goals:
