ENGL497 - English at Work

The humanities are sometimes casually dismissed as “useless” knowledge that will help you be interesting at parties but leave you unemployable on the job market.

Contrary to what you’ve been told, English majors do get jobs! You have developed a range of valuable and marketable job skills in your time as an English major. Our mission in this upper-division writing course is to discover how English majors can most effectively put their academic knowledge and skills to work in professional workplaces after graduation. We will reflect on individual goals and values, learn strategies to research careers and organizational cultures, and compose texts in key professional genres. Your examination of the learning you have done as a college student will prepare you to enact a vision for bringing that learning to life in your future work.

Prerequisite: ENGL301; and an ENGL course at the 300-level or higher. Restriction: Must have earned a minimum of 60 credits.
