Duke’s English BS reimagines literary study for a data-saturated world. Majors explore poetry, narrative, drama, and rhetoric alongside courses in text-mining, book history, podcast production, and digital publishing. From archiving abolitionist newspapers with TEI markup to scripting interactive fiction in Twine, students learn to interrogate language both as aesthetic artifact and social code. Senior seminars pair critical theory with hands-on media labs, while the Distinguished Writers Series brings Pulitzer and Booker Prize laureates into weekly classroom workshops.
