About English Majors
ULM graduates with either a Bachelor's and a Master's degree find a variety of post-graduate
employment, from technical writing and grant writing to copyediting and usability
experts.
With a degree in English, you have a wide range of career options, having been trained
to read, produce, and evaluate all kinds of documents from instructional manuals and
software documentation to scientific treatises, from legal briefs to poetry and graphic
novels. English students produce creative, technical, and scientific writing, practice
editing and proofreading, and interpret documents and texts. With various internship
opportunities, students in the English Program gain valuable experience that positions
them well for post-graduate employment.
Mission
The English program prepares students with skills in critical thought, problem solving,
and writing; provides a scholarly environment in which faculty and majors flourish;
and produces graduates who excel as scholars and professionals.
