Overview

The Department of English and Theatre offers courses in literature, theatre, writing, film, pedagogy and theory. Courses are designated as English (ENLT), Theatre (THTR) and Writing (WRTG) and are described in Course Descriptions under these groupings. In addition to the majors in English and Theatre described in the following section, the department offers minors in English, Theatre and Writing. English majors may pursue either minors or tracks in Theatre and Writing. English majors pursuing tracks in Writing or Theatre may place these courses in either the elective or cognate area of the major.

(Courses used for a minor cannot be applied to requirements or electives within the major.)
