Quick. Name a career where reading and writing well is irrelevant.

We couldn’t either. The abilities to express ideas well in writing and to comprehend large amounts of complex material are perhaps the quickest ways to stand out in any career field.

(Having informed opinions about literature is a great way to stand out at parties, too.)

Those are just two reasons why students from every major at NWU pass through our doors.

Are you considering an English major or minor? Visit us on the first floor of Old Main.
