About English at Young Harris College
The English major is built on the same liberal arts core and allows the students to study a breadth of literature. Within the major, students also have the flexibility to choose a concentration. For example, a student may choose to focus on British literature and can take electives in this area. Further, the major’s flexibility invites students to choose a complementary minor or even another major.

One of the chief joys of teaching in the English Department is witnessing young scholars blossom as they move from Introduction to Composition to upper-level courses. I relish seeing (and participating in) their growth as readers, writers, and critical thinkers.
I enjoy guiding students on an intellectual journey toward freedom and self-actualization. When students are done with my classes, my hope is that they have a much better sense of who they are, what they want to do with their lives, and who they ultimately want to become.
