The skills our 英语 students learn prepare them for research opportunities and internships in a broad range of fields. Our students have applied their knowledge during internships as legal assistants, 营销专家, and communication and social media managers. They’ve also worked as writers and editors and found positions abroad to gain international experience.

英语 majors are able to showcase their work through on-campus events like the annual PrezTech挑战,这里的学生 ENG 250 Sound, Image Word: Reading Poetry in a Digital Age created videos and recordings of poems they studied in class with the goal of making poetry accessible to a new and wider audience.

Our students have also used their studies to prepare others for bright futures. 凯尔西·朱利安21岁 served as a teacher in the Houston Breakthrough Collaborative summer educational program, which was designed to offer college-preparatory education options to students from underserved communities.
