BACHELOR’S DEGREE IN ENGLISHA degree in English from Sam Houston State University can open the door to a number of career possibilities. Most professions and professional schools stress the need to read well, speak well, write well, and think critically.
The SHSU Department of English faculty includes award-winning, internationally-published professors. Class sizes are small, so that students may receive personal attention from faculty, have opportunities to interact with nationally-recognized writers, and have opportunities to publish and present papers at conferences and enter writing contests. Students may also work with faculty members editing The Beacon, The Texas Review, Journal of Finnish Studies, Nathaniel Hawthorne Review, Intertexts, and the journal of the American Studies Association of Texas. Students may also have an opportunity to work in the Texas Review Press.
REQUIREMENTSIn addition to university core requirements, English majors take a variety of courses in British, American, and World Literature. Although there are required sequences in American and British literature, the BA in English is flexible enough whereby students can explore in their study courses in creative writing, technical communication, and special literary topics such as women in literature, African American literature, major authors, film and literature, and more.
Minor: All English majors must have a minor; the department offers minors in Creative Writing, Technical Writing, and American Studies, but students can also choose relevant minors outside of the department.
