Admission to Degree Program

All degree programs in the Department of English are open enrollment. However, special limitations apply for teaching majors.

The Discipline

The English major at BYU is a program devoted to the development of reading, writing, and thinking abilities derived from studying and producing literary and other texts in English. Students study these works in aesthetic, historical, religious, and other contexts, including the theoretical contexts the faculty bring to the courses they teach.

The major enables students to develop knowledge, skills, and attitudes that have application in contemporary society and that are in harmony with the principles of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.

Career Opportunities

Many opportunities for careers exist in teaching, professional and technical writing, newspaper work, editing, public relations, personnel work, and government service. The English major traditionally prepares students as teachers in secondary education, but it is excellent training for any career that requires perceptive reading, orderly and clear thinking, and persuasive and graceful expression. It is useful as an undergraduate major for careers in law, medicine, library work, organizational behavior, and publishing and editing. Some graduates work in journalism, advertising, script writing for television and movies, and public information. Local, state, and federal government agencies offer career possibilities as do business and industry.

Students would be wise to combine the English major with a minor in any field that would help prepare them for the job market.
