Viterbo English majors often pursue communications-based careers in such fields as public relations, advertising, and journalism. Many English majors prepare for careers as middle/secondary school teachers, or pursue graduate or professional degrees in English, communications, and law.
Students who minor in English gain the analytical skills that come from textual study but also improve their writing through their choice of five courses that comprise the minor.
