Notes

  1. Students may use only two English courses at the 100-level to fulfil English plan requirements; additional 100-level English courses may count as degree electives. Courses transferred from other institutions without a specific course designation (e.g., ENGL 1XX) may only be counted towards the English electives.
  2. Rhetoric, Media, and Professional Communication students are strongly advised to take a university-level course in computer science.
  3. Students preparing themselves for teaching careers or graduate studies in English may wish to include further courses in literature as part of their electives.
  4. Although the Department of English Language and Literature provides advisors to help students choose their academic plans, arrange their courses, and conform with the University, Faculty, and Department regulations, students are urged to study the Undergraduate Calendar very carefully because they are themselves responsible for failure to abide by these regulations.
