“The Friends University English program gave me resources and experience I needed for success in higher education and go on to pursue graduate school. I can safely say that I never would have achieved the success I have had without the support and education I received from professors, their influence on career pathways in English, and the connections I built through the English Program!”

“The English Department at Friends University gave me the foundation I needed to pursue my dream career in publishing. Through courses in grammar, editing, and in-depth conversations about the publishing industry, I gained both the skills and the confidence to enter the field. I’m especially grateful for the professors who took the time to invest in me personally, encouraging my passions and equipping me to thrive beyond the classroom.”

“I use my degree everyday with my freshmen and sophomores for English. In fact, as both navigate everything from poetry to graphic novels to articles to writing to Shakespeare, I still reference notes from my time at Friends and the great insights I got from class discussions.”

“English is used every single day, and it was what ultimately led me to getting the position at Roy Group. We use English when we write emails, create memos, and speak on the phone to clients. An English degree when spoken of and utilized correctly, is one of the most beneficial degrees when acquiring a profession. ”

“Studying English Literature in college equipped me with pivotal skills in public speaking, analytical perspectives, critical thinking, and narrative writing that I utilize daily in my role as an Executive Director at the nonprofit organization, Juniper Arts Academy.”
