The Major
"The English program allows students and faculty
to interact in countless positive ways, while vastly improving the
students' reading and writing skills."
--English major '02, entering graduate school in political
science
"The small class size is one of the main reasons I decided
to come to Lehigh. In the English major, there are a lot of fascinating
courses to chose from, and every English class I had was small.
I was particularly pleased with the way that certain English classes
overlapped with theatre and/or communications courses, allowing
me to have room for my other major and minor. In short, the variety
of English courses is great and the faculty is invaluable."
--English major '02, planning a career in advertising
"Having majored in English helped me greatly in law school
because of my experience in reading quickly and with increased comprehension.
Also, of course, I learned to write clearly and concisely.
--English major '92, now an associate editor at a children's
book publisher.
"English helped me develop analytical skills useful in understanding
myself and others. In my work I try to analyze people's thought
patterns while looking for themes that will help me to help them.
That sort of analysis is similar to what I did as an English major."
--English major '94, now a psychotherapist.
"English provides you with a solid foundation to do anything
and succeed at anything."
--English major '97, now working in new business development
for a cosmetics firm.
"My senior seminar was close knit. It was easy to express
my opinion and the professor was open, honest, and understanding.
I learned a lot about the complexities of courtly love literature."
--English major '02, headed for law school
