Students enrolled in any Honours or Four-Year General Major academic plan may pursue a minor designation in English Language and Literature.
The English Minor requires successful completion of a minimum of five academic course units (ten courses) in English with a minimum cumulative average of 65%, including:
- ENGL 200A/B (Survey of British Literature)
- ENGL 251A/B (Criticism 1 and Criticism 2)
- two English courses, numbered 300 or above
- four other English courses (see Note 1 below)
Notes:
- Students may use only two English courses at the 100-level to fulfil the minimum English requirements. Some English courses do not fulfil the English Major requirements for a degree in English (see English Undergraduate Course Descriptions). Students in the Three-Year or Four-Year General English plans, the Honours Literature plan, and the English Minor plan, may count a maximum of two of the following courses towards their English plan requirements: ENGL 209, 210E-I, 309E, 376R, 377R. Courses transferred from other institutions without a specific course designation (e.g., ENGL 2XX) may only be counted towards the English electives.
- Students who have taken ENGL 101 in 1980/81 or earlier will not be required to take ENGL 200A/B. If taken, it will not count as an English Major credit.
- ENGL 200A, 200B, 251A, 251B are strongly recommended for second year. If all four courses are not completed by the end of Year Two, they must be included in Year Three selection of courses, or the Department may refuse to grant approval of that selection of courses.
- Results from all English courses taken at UW are used to calculate the cumulative English average.
