Why English?

Studying English at SCU isn't just about learning how to write well.  It's understanding how to communicate effectively and how to make your opinion relevant.  I was challenged by what is a rigorous curriculum, but also given the freedom to focus on what I was passionate about.  The skills I developed have helped me stand out in the competitive fields of law and politics: I have worked for the U.N., a Member of Congress, the state legislature, and the state supreme court.  I now litigate in the public interest and serve on the board of directors of several nonprofits.  An English major is whatever you want it to be.
