English majors at USI have the opportunity to get involved in several student groups related to writing and literature and to gain experience through internships on campus and in the community. Additionally, students may complete internships with the Southern Indiana Review, a nationally-recognized journal that presents the work of emerging and established artists and writers and have their work published in one of USI's student publications.
The English degree program at the University of Southern Indiana offers students a choice of emphasis: creative writing, literature, professional writing and rhetoric, and English teaching.
English graduates go into advertising, business, communications, education, information science, media, public service, publishing, sales and writing. The English major also prepares students to pursue graduate study in English, education, political science, law, government, library and information science, public administration, psychology, counseling, communications, business and religious studies.
