Hello everyone,
I am currently attending a public university where my Major is English, and have done really well in classes for this major. I am interested in graduate school, likely a Ph.D program, but am not exactly sure if this field is something I want to pursue. I've read about how some people can do Graduate work in different fields from their undergraduate years, but I am unsure of the overall process of deciding on a specific field of focus. I know that there are some other fields (History / Anthropology / Religion) that seem distantly related to English, and may even be appealing. For students who are currently in Ph.D programs, how did you decide what you specifically wanted to study? Did you find various programs that piqued your interest? As well, is it viable to study something else, and what may the pros or cons be to this?
Thank you very much!
