Overview

The English Department graduate program from University of Georgia operates by several guiding principles. Above all they stress the importance of teaching and research, two activities we regard as inextricably related.

Key Features

They seek to prepare students to enter the profession as both teachers and scholars; most students who want a chance to teach are able to do so, as teaching assistants or as tutors in the writing center, before completing their doctoral degrees.

Students are expected and encouraged to participate actively in the program, to help plan the freshman curriculum, and to play an important role in the life of the department.

Careers

Every organization and company needs people who can read and write well. If you have ever gone to a museum’s website, or listened to a podcast, or clicked through an email advertising a sale at your favorite store, there was someone like you on the other end creating these examples of successful communication.

Companies and organizations have stories to tell—to stakeholders, to other businesses, and to the public, and someone majoring or minoring in English has the necessary close reading skills, audience awareness skills, argument crafting skills, research skills, and rhetorical sensitivity to thrive in content producing and editing positions.

Some (though certainly not all) possible career paths include: nonprofit organizations; marketing and public relations; publishing; web content production; and libraries.
