DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH AND MODERN LANGUAGES
The Department of English seeks to help prepare students to live in a complex, technological, and diverse world by introducing them to varying perspectives offered by a thorough study of literature and language. Through these perspectives, sociological and personal barriers may be broken down, and the possibilities as well as the paradoxes of human existence may be better understood.

The Technical Communication Minor will prepare students to be writers and communication specialists for a wide variety of fields following graduation. In addition to developing professional skills and writing proficiency, this minor ensures expertise in contemporary electronic communication. Since professional technical communicators must possess many skills, this minor is interdisciplinary and is intended to allow students to specialize in a subfield of technical communication once they have completed the four required courses.

Journalism: Shepherd University recognizes the interdisciplinary nature of the field of print journalism and has thus constructed a minor that reflects the variety of skills and the knowledge base necessary for the success in this dynamic field.

By exposing students to a study of the language and literature of other countries, the Modern Language Component of the University seeks to help prepare students for life in a multinational, multicultural global society.
