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 and ENGL 102 (ENGL 103H for Honors Program members). Students in the College of Arts and Sciences must take an additional three-credit course from ENGL 201-205 (206H and 207H for Honors students).

The department directs the operation of a Writing Laboratory 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.
