Program Details and Course Descriptions
I would click on this page intuitively which would take me to a place that has what I need, but is not the best way to find it out. If I didn't know about the checklist I believe I would get stuck here and frustrated by how complicated it was.
Mission and Learning Objectives
not going to read this but good to have
Class Schedule
this feels like way to much information all though it does highlight how many classes there are especially on the front page of it
Program Details and Course Descriptions
aha here it is — this should be less hidden
The Professional Writing program provides students with real-world experiences in digital and print environments that prepare students for a wide range of professional opportunities in industry, nonprofit, and public sectors.
this didn't exactly convince me because I don't think it was specific enough on what I'd actually be doing after college
To declare or change a major, minor, or emphasis, fill out the SCU Registrar's Program Petition form.
the problem is that this english major and minors checklist doesn't tell me anything about what the classes actually are, when I feel like the department should be proud about their course offerings and be putting them front and center.
Academic Programs
This is what I would click on first, but I'm definitely confused and not sure about it
Faculty & Staff
as a professional now, I would know to look here first — and faculty and staff is clearly in sight and intuitive.

definitely what I would click on as a parent concerned about my child.
positions at tech companies
great wording here because it is broad and also expresses how useful a english degree is in a lot of different high-paying fields.
HUB Writing Center will hone your written communication skills beyond what you learn in class.
awesome opportunity for my relative to find work on campus while building their resume.
Canterbury Program,
words like "program" feel like they are so perfect to rope in parents... I know this from my mom asking me a thousand times what programs I could do here.
any number of paths—in the arts, education, technology, policy, business, law, and more.
this is good to see, as I want my kid to have the most opportunities available to them.
Majors and Minors
it's not easy to see where the classes would be for English majors and minors. I feel like this should be where that is but it is not.
which could lead to graduate school or teaching.
Not to hate on teaching... but I think for someone that doesn't know what they want to take in school and is looking at English as a broad major to take, this fits into the "all you can do with an English degree is teach narrative"
Writer. Researcher. Tech Developer. Teacher. Lawyer. Where can SCU English take you? Anywhere you want.
I feel like this should jump out at me more. In the mind of this reader I think I'd really be skimming — and this sort of bland text with a common phrase I'd probably jump right over / not think about twice. I think that this is an important part of what an english degree is though.

Effective. As someone unsure of what they want to do this makes me feel good about choosing Santa Clara English if I enjoyed the classes.
Website
this is great that their is a link to their website. Wasn't expecting this but it is a great feature.

Don't know about former students access to the phonebook. Probably frustrating for them not to be able to view the email if they would like to contact the professor and no longer can access their account. But, I get why it's hidden.

I don't really get what this is
For freshman and sophomore students considering the Professional Writing minor
pretty cool that there is an option for freshman and sophmores to take internships. I would love to see this as a highschooler.
The English Department Canterbury Program honors this juxtaposition by offering English majors a bridge between traditional humanistic pursuits and twenty-first century technological achievements.
I wish this place said more about where you go, but the rest sounds pretty cool!

Life After SCU
this photo section below this is kinda offputting and strange I wish it was more artsy
ir strong writing and analytical abilities are the most valuable assets they bring from the campus to the world after college.
this is an important thing that sticks out to me
