The English major is flexible and this plan of study offers only one possible path through the major. One of the advantages of a liberal arts education is the ability for students to take courses in a wide variety of areas, and we encourage English majors to explore other fields. All students should meet with their advisers regularly to chart a personalized course of study that best fits with their interests and needs.
You must complete enough electives to bring total credit hours up to the 125. Special Emphasis courses can fulfill an essential studies requirement (example-History 104, US History, will count toward the US Diversity as well as the Humanities area). Please Note: Every student must fulfill all University, Departmental, and Essential Studies requirements.
