The Bachelor of Arts degree in English gives majors a choice of concentrations in creative writing, language, folklore or English honors. To be admitted to the department, a student must complete the College of Arts and Science requirements in English 20 and Math 10, be in good standing and complete English 205 with a grade in the C range before filing an area of concentration. The required hours of English composition are excluded from the maximum and must be taken before students enroll in upperclass literature courses. At least 3 hours in each of the four areas listed below. Courses marked with an asterisk usually may be used in either area where they appear.
More information is available from the English department honors director.
