Students transferring to Weber State College as English majors with most of their junior and senior status completed are required to take three upper division English classes at Weber State. Career Opportunities — A Baccalaureate degree in English provides students with a sound foundation for numerous graduate school and professional programs including public school, college and university teaching, preparation for law school, medical school and business management; and training for other public and governmental professional positions.
