About Bachelor of Arts - English
The English major at Sacred Heart prepares students personally and professionally for the world beyond college. The diverse curriculum in languages, literature, cultures and creative expression prepares students for life long learning and success in a variety of advanced degrees and professions.
At Sacred Heart, students will develop the skills they need to read analytically; write clearly and effectively; and express a clear, logical argument. Students will gain a strong foundation in a broad spectrum of literature, and by the time they graduate they will have skills and knowledge, including reading, writing, and critical thinking, that never lose value and are relevant to any field, in any job market, at any time.
