Wave The English major gives students an appreciation of literature and increased skills in communication.  It will help in school, politics, business, the arts, law, and personal relations.  Through the study of language and literature, students are better able to communicate, to persuade, and to understand human nature.  More specifically, superior ability to understand and use English is necessary for success in most careers, particularly those in education, writing, business, journalism, and law.
