Earning a degree in English allows the graduate to choose from a variety of careers in professional writing including journalism, publication and marketing. Students may also use this degree as a springboard for study at the graduate level. The English Major offers a "Writing Specialization" as well as a "Literature Track" and a "General Track" allowing students to individualize their study.

The goal of the English major at Simpson is to supply varied course offerings, a faculty committed to making sure each major in the program succeeds, and guidance for genuine intellectual inquiry and growth grounded in a Christian worldview. We believe all of these qualities and more characterize the English major at Simpson University. The major is designed not only to educate students for a career in the literary area of their choice, but also to prepare them for graduate studies. Students leaving with their degree take with them a vast knowledge and strong command of the English language as well as a love of literature and writing of multiple styles.
