As soon as you declare your major or minor, you should establish a strategy for taking courses that will help you meet your goals. This strategy should be flexible but focused on your long-term goals. The English Department has checklists for program requirements in a format slightly easier to understand than the SNAP sheets. You can obtain one from your adviser or from the department office. Each semester, the department provides a listing of courses with specific information about their content.
Individual instructors can provide information on their courses.
To get the most out of your undergraduate education and to pursue your individual interests, consider taking courses beyond those required for graduation. We realize that your plans may change. No one should be locked in to any one goal or schedule of courses. But thoughtful, flexible planning can help, even if you do change your objectives at a later time. Choose courses that will give you range as well as depth of experience in literary types and periods.
