English Literature - Seton Hill University

English Literature from Seton Hill University is a Campus Bachelor English degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. All students in the English major at SHU study a wide variety of literatures . Classics from the traditional canon are read alongside popular bestsellers, women's writing, and multicultural texts. The major emphasizes a broad preparation for careers in writing, publishing, and teaching while encouraging the student's own expression. This blend of creativity and marketing can be seen in Seton Hill's Master of the Arts Program in Writing Popular Fiction, uniquely designed for advanced study and for getting published, staffed by our English faculty. Active class discussions, close one-on-one advising, and faculty support of individual projects make for a lively learning environment. By reading and writing in different genres, students become attuned to the varied audiences and communication formats for today. The students read from the past, experience the present and write for the future in prose, poetry, scripts, and websites that make a difference! The Literature program emphasizes critical reading of a range of stories, poems, plays, and the other "texts" that shape and reflect our world. The traditional study of British classics -- from Chaucer and Shakespeare to today's UK writers -- runs parallel with a deep study of American Literature by our faculty who are experts in the field. We teach writers from around the world, and expose students to a variety of marginalized or often neglected voices, such as women writers, or African American writers, as well. A graduate of Seton Hill's Literature program will have powerful skills in literary criticism and analysis, a wide background in storytelling, and a strong sense of literary history. Many of our Literature students also become certified educators while at SHU and move quickly into teaching positions in elementary and high school upon graduation. Many others step right into graduate school, armed with the wide-ranging background we offer. View more details on Seton Hill University .
