Department Chair: Jeffrey Cain

The English faculty at Sacred Heart is dedicated to the ideal of providing a solid, well-balanced curriculum for our majors. Thus the curriculum balances theory and practice, oral and writing communication, and a common core with concentration in special areas of interest. We seek to share our love of the written and spoken word while at the same time preparing students for professional life upon graduation from the University.

While the majority of our graduates enter the world of teaching, writing, or graduate school, we believe that the English major provides one of the most flexible foundations for entering a wide variety of occupations, including: teaching, creative writing, law, acting, advertising, radio, television, corporate communication, journalism, editing, cinema, personnel relations, press relations, sales, and publishing.
