English & Rhetoric at Avila

The study of English is vital in a world of AI, technology, and changing culture. Studying English can help students develop critical thinking, creativity, and interpretive skills that serve them well in their careers and throughout life.

After graduation, students who study English are prepared for a range of opportunities, including education, public affairs, law school, journalism, non-profit work, politics, publishing, editing, creative writing, business, and graduate school.
