English majors engage with the world’s greatest literature and hone the critical thinking and writing skills that employers value. Ask Meredith’s president, Dr. Jo Allen, Class of ’80, who began her career as an English major at Meredith College. Our graduates earn advanced degrees in English, law, library science, education, counseling, divinity school, and creative and professional writing from
universities including UNC-Chapel Hill, Duke, Vanderbilt, the University of Virginia and Columbia. They start businesses and nonprofits; they become attorneys, managers, fundraisers, editors, screenwriters, journalists, college professors, librarians and teachers. Whatever your aspiration, your journey can begin with a major in English.
