Bachelor of Arts in English

Major Requirements (39 hrs)

Students also need at least 27 hours (9 courses) of literature electives, distributed according to the table below. No more than 12 hours may be at the 200-level. At least 6 hours must be at the 400 level.

In the table below, circle the courses that you have completed. A course may be counted only once in the table. For example, ENG 211, ENG 212, and ENG 275 appear in the American literature row in two time periods (1660-1900 and 1900-present) and ENG 408 appears in the British literature row in two time periods (before 1660 and 1660-1900). However, they can be used to fulfill the requirement for one or the other time period but not both. Select the time period advantageous to you.

Topics courses: ENG 423, ENG 470, and ENG 480 may be added to the cells in the table depending on the topic of the course. ENG 424 Topics in Multiethnic American Literature; ENG 211 African-American Literature; ENG 212 Native American Literature. These courses will always fill a cell in the American Literature row; the time period will be based on the topic of the offering. Please consult an advisor for proper placement of a topics course.

Special Studies Option: A maximum of two non-literature courses may be substituted for literature electives. These must be approved by the English advisor and require a course substitution form. An exception must be recorded in DARS. These courses will typically fall in the Other row/column.

*Courses in the “Other” row/column may require or be associated with a course substitution or exception.
