Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [English] From University of Rhode Island

The undergraduate program is challenging and flexible; many of our students supplement English with a minor or second major in closely related fields (see 'Interdisciplinarity' below). About 24% of our Majors combine their English B.A. with an Elementary or Secondary Education major, allowing them to become public or private student in classschool teachers immediately after graduation. Many receive the advanced training and professional advising that enables them to enter first-rate graduate programs in English, Creative Writing, Comparative Literature, Film or Media Studies, History, Medicine, and Business Administration. Others go on to some of the country's top Law Schools, while many find that their strong writing and analytical skills prepare them to enter careers in publishing, journalism, advertising and marketing, college administration, grant writing, non-profit organizations, social services, insurance, civil service, retail business, and NGOs.
