Seton Hill University: Division of the Humanities

English Program

Students in the English major at SHU study a wide variety of literatures. Classics from the traditional canon are read alongside popular best-sellers, women’s writing, and multi-cultural texts. The major emphasizes a broad preparation for careers in writing, and teaching, while encouraging the student’s own expression. This blend of creativity and marketing can be seen in Seton Hill’s Master of Arts Program in Writing Popular Fiction, uniquely designed for advanced study and for getting published. 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 of today. The students read from the past, experience the present, and write for the future in prose, poetry, and scripts that make a difference.
