Bachelor [English and Creative Writing] From Augustana College

The 12 full-time and four part-time faculty serve as leaders in interdisciplinary studies and are involved in areas such as the honors program, women's and gender studies, international terms, environmental studies and creative writing.

Many English majors gain experience by working as paid tutors in the college's Reading/Writing Center. Others gain experience in publishing by taking Augustana?s Book Publishing class and working at Augustana?s East Hall Press.

Those interested in journalism or creative writing can build their portfolios by working on Augustana?s newspaper, The Observer, and literary magazine, SAGA. Still others gain hands-on experience and develop professional connections by working internships at local businesses in marketing, public relations, journalism, and arts management.

A series of workshops on ?Resume Writing for English majors? also prepares students by teaching them how to communicate the value of their Augustana English major to prospective employers.
