The Bluffton English and Language Department continues its long tradition of academic excellence, innovative teaching, and revelling in the joys of reading and writing. We love to lecture and to listen, to share and to argue, to ponder a timeless classic or the latest work by Toni Morrison. On a typical day faculty and students may be writing poems, watching a new production of Hamlet on video, discussing a slave narrative, or thinking about how literary theory helps us understand the King Arthur story. If you love reading and writing, want to develop your ability to do both well, and hope that someday someone will pay you to sit around and talk about books, come join us. See specifics about the English major and minor.
