A 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, or Intertexts.
