From The Princeton Review:

“With an English degree, you can certainly become a starving author. Or you can become an affluent one. Just ask Stephen King. You can also become a legendary football coach like Joe Paterno or a governor like Mario Cuomo. These and many other people used a degree in English as a springboard to a successful career.

“English programs are about communication, which is important in any career. Studying English also gives you the unique opportunity to engage with different societies, eras and experiences of others through literature so that you may communicate your own experiences and successes and inspire others. Some career options: editor, lawyer or writer.”

The Perelandra College Writing major combines the most valuable elements of both literature and writing programs into one that presents writing, and by extension all manner of verbal communication, as a multifaceted art and craft that can best be learned by close study of masterpieces in the various genres, in tandem with depth analysis of literary and journalistic structures and styles.

Our Bachelor of Arts degree in Writing is designed to prepare students for vocations and avocations that call for excellence in written communication, through an intense study and practice of critical and creative thinking and writing in a wide variety of academic, professional, and creative genres, and through investigation of the ethical and practical issues of communication.
