If you’ve ever expressed an interest in majoring in English to your friends and family, you’ve probably turned a few heads and raised an eyebrow or two. English majors are far too familiar with parents, grandparents and classmates wondering, “What do you do with a BA in English?”
In our technology-based society and rapidly-changing economic landscape, Dr. Rachel Scoggins, assistant professor of English at Lander, believes an English degree remains one of the most versatile degrees you can earn today.
