Choose Your Concentration

As mid-semester approaches, it's time for us to begin to think about scheduling classes for next semester. Given that you've already chosen to be an English major, there is one more step: choosing your concentration. Within the department, there are four major concentrations: Literature, Creative Writing, Professional Writing and Digital Rhetoric, and Teaching of English at the Secondary Level. Professional Writing and Digital Rhetoric is the newest concentration, and one you may not be as familiar with. This concentration encompasses technical skills, and is a great option for those interested in business writing, public relations, or journalism. You will take courses such as multimedia, web design, and graphic design, learning applicable skills for a range of careers. Some programs you will learn include Photoshop, Vyond, Dreamweaver, Illustrator, WordPress, and more. This is a great track for those practical writers who have dreams of anything from digital entrepreneurship, photo editing, coding, and beyond. For additional information, reach out to your advisor. Have a great weekend!
