Requirements


The student majoring in English must take ENLT 140 - (CL) English Inquiry  (or the equivalent course numbered from 120 - 179) and twelve other courses from the English and Theatre Department Courses  designated ENLT, THTR or WRTG.  Of these twelve courses, seven will be area courses (one each from B1; B-2; B-3; A-1; A-2; A-3; G).

The student must also take a course designated “Theory Intensive” and two courses at the 300- or 400-level.  (A single course may satisfy both an area and/or level requirement and the theory intensive requirement.)  In addition to these requirements, students must take a 400-level senior seminar.

No more than two ENLT courses with numbers between 120 and 179 will count toward fulfilling the credits required for the English major.

1 The selection of a First Year Seminar is likely to fulfill requirements both for the First Year Seminar and a General Education Requirement or it may serve as a student’s gateway course (equivalent to ENLT 140 ). Thus, the First Year Seminar will not add to the total credits for the semester.  Talk with your advisor if you have any questions.

*The English & Theatre Department recommends WRTG 140 , a 3-credit EP foundation course satisfying both oral and digital competencies (EP-I).  Other courses may satisfy this requirement.  Please consult with an advisor if you have questions.
