Studying English literature is a noble endeavor. Today's English major is taking on a task of cultural preservation, of defending beauty and literary art in an increasingly pragmatic and commercialized world. Cultivating our ability to communicate with eloquence and to reflect upon literary art is a civilizing and humanist enterprise. If you are up to this challenge, let's talk about your future at Houston Baptist University. Contact the Department of English and Modern Languages.

While many English majors go on to teach, the ability to think critically, analyze ideas, and communicate effectively is in great demand in today's marketplace. Because of this, English majors find jobs in: * journalism * law * management * marketing * sales * technical writing * copy-editing * museum curating * literary and film criticism * library science * research analysis * public relations * literature * etc.... And they have a strong foundation for creative word in screenwriting, drama, prose, fiction, and nonfiction.
