Overview

As an English major at Centre College, you will read, discuss, and write about challenging and inspiring works of the imagination.

With small class sizes and a caring, distinguished faculty, courses cover authors such as Jane Austen, Toni Morrison, Emily Dickinson, and Cormac McCarthy; and topics such as Africa American literature, early English novels, poetry by women, Shakespeare and film, Southern literature, or South Asian literature.
