EnglishGonzaga University

The English Department provides courses to meet student needs in several areas: to fulfill the requirements of the core curricula of the University and of the College of Arts and Sciences; to provide majors in other disciplines with an opportunity for further humanistic enrichment through literature and writing; to offer majors and minors in English a variety of courses which reflect the literary heritage of Western civilization; and to provide a Bachelor of Arts degree in English.

All undergraduate degree programs in the University require six semester hours in English: ENGL 101 or ENGL 200 and ENGL 102, 105 or 106 (ENGL 103H and ENGL 104H for Honors Program members). Students in the College of Arts and Sciences must take an additional three-credit course from ENGL 201-285 (206H and 207H for Honors students).

The department directs the operation of a Writing Center open to all undergraduate students at no charge; help is available there in the preparation of papers and reports.

English majors may not use lower division courses to fulfill any part of the twenty-seven upper division credits required. Before graduation all English majors must register for and pass ENGL 499, the comprehensive examination, which is based on a departmental reading list.

This department is not physically accessible. However, staff/faculty will arrange to meet with any individual needing assistance in an accessible location. Please call Linda McDonald, 313-6672.
