Requirements for a Major in English

Before declaring English as a major, students must

1. a) complete the Core composition classes (ENGL 1101 and 1102) with no grade lower than a C.
2. b) apply with the Chair of Humanities for an interview with members of the English faculty. This interview may be scheduled as convenient during any semester, and its purpose is to discern the student’s interest in the major, answer questions the student may have, and clarify the requirements and goals of the major in English.
3. c) visit the Registrar’s office to complete the major declaration process.

English majors are required to take 39 hours in English language and literature above the 1000 level. For satisfactory completion of the major, students must complete each major course with a grade of C- or better.
