Lamar University

Reimagine the Lamar University Bachelor of Arts in English. It's time to rediscover the English degree as a degree in language that opens doors to practically any career you could dream of – and that includes professional writing, editing, publishing and teaching, but it also includes law, medicine, marketing, communications and service of all kinds. This program is committed to fostering sound liberal arts academic experiences and preparing you to meet the educational, professional and cultural needs of the region and beyond. As a student, you'll be able to participate in department publications such as Lamar University Literary Press, Journal of Humanities, Pulse and Review of Texas Books. You will graduate well-equipped to deal with the professional demands of many jobs, as you will become a great communicator who is trained to think analytically and interact effectively with people.
