English Department Academic Policies

Levels of Courses

Ordinarily, 1000-level courses are taken prior to 2000-level courses, and so on. Unless otherwise indicated, courses have general prerequisites as follows: for 2000-level courses, 24 prior college credit hours; for 3000-level courses, 30 college credit hours; for 4000-level courses, 45 college credit hours.

Prerequisite for All English Courses

Students must fulfill the ENGL 1310 requirement prior to taking any other English course beyond 1310. For English majors, ENGL 2010 is a prerequisite for all other literature courses offered through the Department of English. For non-majors, ENGL 1500 is a prerequisite for all 2000-level and non-major literature courses.

Graduate Course Offerings

In general, a 4000-level course may also be taken for graduate credit as a 5000-level course. See instructor for details. 5000- and 6000-level courses are for graduate students only.
