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 also must take two courses designated as EPW, and these courses may overlap with area courses and/or electives for the major.
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.) Of the two courses at the 300 or 400-level, one of them must be 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.
Area Courses
The Department recommends ENLT 140 (CL) English Inquiry as the first course for an English major, but students may fulfill this requirement by taking an ENLT course numbered between 120 and 179, including ENLT First Year Seminars and the following courses:
B-1. British Literature to 1660
B-2. British Literature: 1660-1897
B-3. British Literature: 1897 to the present
G. Global Anglophone & Multi-Ethnic American Literatures*
A-1. American Literature to 1865
A-2. American Literature: 1865-1950
A-3. American Literature: 1950-Present*
* Note that the following courses can apply to either G or A-3, but not to both.
English Curriculum
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.
2EPW courses may overlap with Area Requirements and/or Major Electives.
*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.
