The Gardner-Webb University Department of English offers a fun, supportive learning community with multiple opportunities to connect and share with your classmates and teachers. Our department has a history of activities including annual kickball games, pizza and quiz bowl parties, ice cream socials, and poetry readings at the local coffee shop. Our low student/teacher ratio (4-to-1) means that students will get one-on-one attention. The English Department’s faculty is a diverse and interesting group.

The Department of English also publishes the literary journal, The Broad River Review.
