Program Description This program can help individuals turn their passion for reading and writing into a career and gain the communication and research skills needed in the workplace today. Students will learn to think critically and write effectively through SNHU's BA in English Language and Literature. Classes are generally small. The literature courses, for example, average about 20 students and the writing courses about 15 students, allowing professors to keep the classes lively and highly interactive. Students won't ever find themselves sitting in a huge auditorium, struggling to follow along with a lecture. In fact, some of the most unique learning opportunities might take place outside the classroom. Because of SNHU's ideal location in the heart of New England, the birthplace of American literature, professors often build in visits to historic literary sites such as Walden Pond to add depth to the subject matter.
