Grace Jones Quote

Try to get as much experience as you can before you graduate! I worked at multiple bookstores and wrote for several magazines during my time at MSU, which really helped me showcase my writing and get the jobs I’ve had since graduating. Also, share why you are passionate about your future career; a personal story and display of your passion can get you a long way!

Deadric Williams Quote

I would encourage undergraduate English majors to take as many courses in the department as possible. One of the best decisions I made as an English major was taking a range of course—from the 16th to the 20th century.

Kate Gregory Quote

If you show up, engage, do the work, and listen, the faculty in the English department has prepared a curriculum that will set you up for success in several career fields. English degrees will prepare you to be an excellent writer and communicator, which is valuable across the job market.
