Sigma Tau Delta
USU's chapter of the English Honor Society, a group dedicated to highlighting high-performing English students.
Overview
With its small class sizes and nationally published faculty members, the English Department helps students develop skills in analysis, production, and understanding of texts in the English language. Students learn to write, think, and communicate effectively in a technologically and culturally complex world. Students develop skills in the areas most valued by employers, including critical thinking, teamwork, and oral and written communication, which will prepare them to enter into a wide range of career options.
Because the English Department is home to faculty that are heavily involved in research, students are provided with numerous opportunities to pursue undergraduate research projects and creative projects with individual attention from professors.
Career Application
Employers in every field prize the communication, cultural awareness, and critical analysis skills acquired through the English degree, and graduates in English are well prepared for professional opportunities in areas such as education, public relations, libraries, museums, nonprofit organizations, grant writing, human resources, marketing, copywriting, web content creation, and more. Whether the goal is to transfer skills directly to the workplace or to pursue further study in a graduate program, English offers the tools to succeed, and students in English may set up internships that combine their academic and professional interests.
