English at Shawnee State

Critical thought is the central skill you will learn at Shawnee. Our English/Humanities majors are taught to view problems in literature through a series of questions and approaches to reveal the inner workings and meanings imbedded in English literature, philosophy and other languages. Students become thoughtful readers and critical interpreters of what they read. We expand knowledge and the methods of dealing with knowledge, viewing texts in a variety of contexts: cultural, historical, biographical to name a few. The experience of working with insightful, learned faculty on questions of methodology and context enrich the college experience, and prepare students for a wide ranging series of careers where thoughtful decision-making is required.
