Why Major in English?


  1. As an English major, you ___ take courses that span the historical breadth of literature and
  2. culture in Britain, America, and beyond. In your senior year, you ____ have the opportunity to
  3. carve out a personal area of expertise in the form of the Senior Project, an extended research
  4. essay that serves as the culmination of your achievements in writing and scholarship at Yale.
  5. And while faculty, graduate students, coursework and department-sponsored events are
  6. rich resources for English majors, so are your fellow majors. English majors contribute to and
  7. often take the lead in campus publications, readings, and events. They will challenge and
  8. inspire you in the classroom and beyond it.
  9. Here are some reasons our students ..... chosen to major in English…
  10. To acquire tools that will never lose value. The skills you acquire in college are not just
  11. things you know about; they’re skills for approaching the world. Many of those skills, like the
  12. ability to read analytically and write well, are more and more prized, as the support for reading
  13. education ..... declined while the need for it ..... increased. Unlike most technical knowledge,
  14. the English major’s tools will never be obsolete. More important, the English major’s training
  15. goes beyond such marketable skills; to read well is to reflect on values and ends, not just
  16. means. The English major’s skill-set is not tied to technology or markets or nations. It’s value
  17. never depreciates, and lies beyond price. What will you do with yours?
  18. To navigate a world of global English. English literature is produced and consumed
  19. around the world. 54% of the worldwide web is in English. No other language comes close
  20. (Russian, 6%). Non-Anglophone nations are now offering university classes conducted in
  21. English in response to the globalization of our language and the rise of new English-speaking
  22. populations around the world. The skills you acquire will put you in a position to thrive in this
  23. complex, multinational, transcultural world of English.
  24. To understand the effects of changing media. Although some ..... claimed that “print
  25. is dead,” the book persists. Online, on tablets, smartphones, and e-readers, we read
  26. constantly. How is our society changing as a result? What does it mean to read on a screen
  27. instead of on a page? This is not the first media revolution in the history of writing; there was
  28. literature before there were books, and there were books before print. In courses on the history
  29. of the book, on new media, on literature and technology, you will find in our department new
  30. ways to understand the dynamism of a written world that ..... always been in flux. As we find
  31. ourselves inundated with media, your ability to read will become all the more essential.
  32. To explain your world. The challenges of the present lead many to place their faith in
  33. technology, science, and economics. Equally important is the ability to articulate values and
  34. alternatives, to persuade others to share a common vision. Major tech companies, including
  35. Google, actively pursue English majors and others from the humanities who can explain not
  36. just how technology works but what it means. Corporations, governments, and NGOs
  37. increasingly ask: how do we communicate better? As an English major, you’ll be the one to tell
  38. them.
  39. To learn how language shapes the world. The social world consists of discourse.
  40. Politics, religion, and philosophy live in language, in the ear, on page and screen. In the forms
  41. and histories of writing, we observe the movement of ideas and technologies. Studying
  42. narrative, we learn about the experience of time and history. In the writing of the past, we
  43. discover both its intimacy and its distance from us. In the writing of the present, we encounter
  44. the experiences of others at their most articulate, and most various.
