Ed Corson earned his B.A. at Amherst College (1954), the M.Div. at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary (1963) and the Ph.D. in English from the University of Georgia (1975).

After serving as a navigator (captain) in the Air Force for nine years, Corson earned tenure teaching at Mercer University (1968-1977), and then continued to teach part time at Mercer and other Middle Georgia colleges and universities while employed by The Macon Telegraph, mostly as editorial page editor and columnist, until his retirement in 2001.

At that time he returned to full-time teaching as an associate professor at Georgia College and State University for two years, and now at Macon State College.

He currently teaches English 1101, 1102 and 2111. His main academic interests lie in the teaching of writing, Shakespeare and Early Romantic English literature, Biblical studies and the history of the English language. For better or worse, he also continues to write a newspaper column.
