We are so pleased that you are thinking of pursuing a degree in English from TCU. In the links below you'll find much that we think will be helpful. Before you get started, though, consider what some of our former students have to say:

"My English degree from TCU was an invaluable tool during law school at Harvard. You may spend an entire semester in a classroom or the library, but in the end, the entire law school year's performance is based on a single essay test where clear communication counts. What's more, the ability to write well--analytically, cogently, cohesively and in a pleasant style--is an acquired skill necessary for anyone considering a professional career, whether it's law, business, medicine, or academia." — Roderick Branch

"The English degree I got from TCU has been invaluable; it developed my writing and critical thinking skills, which is something I've found that all employers are interested in, regardless of the industry. Also, in pursuing the MBA, I've learned that the English degree, in teaching me how to really think, has helped to get me 'over the hump' in business classes." — Julie Guess

"I am currently writing my dissertation in English at Brandeis University. I have found my TCU degree in English very valuable, and have moved rather quickly through the Ph.D. program here due to my wonderful training."
— Daniel Worden

"I absolutely loved the TCU English Department. The faculty members are wonderful—always helpful, encouraging, and supportive. The small size of the department and classes was quite helpful in allowing English majors to have opportunities to express their opinions. Majoring in English at TCU made an enormous difference in my life." — Lisa Cooper Kirby
