ENG 2991-001 English Majors in the Workplace
M 3:20 PM – 4:35 PM for the first 10 weeks of the semester
Michelle Filling-Brown
This course invites students to think intentionally about who they are—and who they are in the process of becoming—within the dynamic and flexible field of English. Through reflection, conversation, and practical exploration, students will gain a clearer understanding of the many professional and academic pathways open to English majors, from publishing, education, and law to nonprofit work, business, media, and graduate study. Students will build essential career skills, including crafting polished résumés, writing compelling cover letters, developing effective interviewing strategies, and networking with Villanova alumni. By the end of the course, students will be better prepared to navigate their next steps and more adept at articulating the value of their English degree and Villanovan co-curricular and extra-curricular experiences across a wide range of professional settings.
Please join us in fall 2026 for this exciting one-credit course taught by the great Michelle Filling-Brown!
