The College Section of NCTE supports the exploration of English Studies in a variety of collegiate settings that include higher education institutions and early colleges. We are educators who teach English, composition, and literacy studies across the disciplines in colleges and universities, especially to undergraduate students.
The publication of the College Section is College English, the professional journal of the college scholar-teacher.
The College Section is committed to intellectual freedom and diversity and participates actively in NCTE intellectual freedom and diversity initiatives.
