Bread Loaf School of English
2010 Summer Programs
Each summer the Bread Loaf School of English assembles a community of teachers and learners at each of its
four campuses: St. John’s College in Santa Fe, New Mexico; the University of North Carolina at Asheville;
Lincoln College, Oxford, in the United Kingdom; and the Bread Loaf Mountain campus in Vermont.
Students may take courses in continuing graduate education, or they may enroll in full degree programs, leading to
the Master of Arts and Master of Letters degrees in English. The Bread Loaf emphasis has always been upon close
contact between teacher and student in an intensive six-week course of study.
Bread Loaf’s faculty come from many of the most distinguished colleges and universities in the United States and
the United Kingdom and offer courses in literature, literary theory, creative writing, the teaching of writing, and
theater arts. Students normally enroll in two one-unit (three semester hours) courses each summer.
Since it was established in 1920, the Bread Loaf School of English has been a cornerstone of Middlebury College’s
reputation for excellence in the teaching of literature. The Bread Loaf School is one of 12 summer programs of
Middlebury College. Others are the Language Schools of Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Hebrew, Italian,
Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish, and the Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference. Middlebury College offers
no graduate program in English during the regular academic year.
