 | | The off-campus opportunities, which are immense, include well-stocked new and antiquarian bookstores, some of the finest libraries in the world (including the Boston Public Library, two underground stops from Kenmore Square), many readings and lectures by contemporary writers and scholars at various venues, and first-rate theatre (including the Huntington Theatre, affiliated with Boston University). |
 | | Undergraduates often combine the major in English with a major or minor in another field of the humanities or in one of the social sciences. |
 | | Nevertheless, many students graduating with the B.A. in English pursue graduate or professional study and find employment outside the fields of teaching, writing, and editing, for which the English major has been traditionally an appropriate preparation. |
