The study of language, literature, and the humanities is<br />

integral to every institution of higher learning. The Department<br />

of English, Humanities, and Languages fulfills a central role in<br />

<strong>Southeastern</strong>’s General Education Program by offering courses<br />

in English, Humanities, Spanish, Choctaw, German, French,<br />

and Philosophy.<br />

English<br />

Our mission is to prepare students for careers in <strong>edu</strong>cation,<br />

professional writing, technical writing and communications,<br />

administration, and public relations. The major programs also<br />

prepare students to pursue graduate degrees in English and<br />

law. We offer three different concentrations leading to the B.A.<br />

degree:<br />

English Education is a major for students planning to<br />

enter the teaching profession.<br />

English is a major for those primarily interested in literary<br />

studies.<br />

English Writing Emphasis is a major for students<br />

interested in enhancing their skills in writing and<br />

other forms of communication.<br />

The Department hosts a chapter of Sigma Tau Delta, the<br />

national English honor society, and also publishes Green Eggs<br />

& Hamlet, a student-produced literary and art journal.<br />

Languages<br />

The Department offers two degrees in Spanish: the B.A.<br />

in Spanish Education and the B.A. in Spanish. The mission of<br />

the B.A. degree program in Spanish Education is to produce<br />

well-qualified teachers who demonstrate a broad mastery of<br />

Hispanic language and culture. The B.A. in Spanish is a liberal<br />

arts degree with the potential for many practical applications.<br />

It is ideal as a double major for students seeking to enhance<br />

their employability or who plan to work with a Spanish-speaking<br />

customer base.<br />

The Summer Spanish Immersion Program in Saltillo, Coahuila<br />

(Mexico) is open to qualified <strong>Southeastern</strong> students, and<br />

majors are strongly encouraged to participate.<br />

The Department hosts a chapter of Sigma Delta Pi, the<br />

national Hispanic honor society.<br />

The Department also offers a minor in Choctaw language<br />

and culture in partnership with the Choctaw Nation. Courses<br />

in French and German are occasionally offered.<br />
