Introduction

Students choosing to major in English may choose to complete either a four-year BA in English or an Honours BA in English. Majors, Minors, or Honours students in English must follow the sequence of courses for the Foundation Program, described below. The English Department is part of the Faculty of Humanities, which requires additional courses outside the major field. See "BA with a Major Field: Course Requirements” under 3.5 Graduation.

Junior Courses

One full-course equivalent of English and/or Comparative Literature will normally constitute the prerequisite for 300-level English courses.

The following 300-level courses have no prerequisites: English 329, 385, 387, 389, 393, 395, 399.

English Composition (ENCO) courses do not count towards the major field in English.

Foundation Program

English 203, 205, 302 and 340 constitute the Foundation Program for English Majors, Minors and Honours students. Completion of the senior courses (English 302 and 340) of the Foundation Program is the standard prerequisite for 400-level courses. A student who has not completed English 302 and 340 may be admitted to a 400- or 500-level course only if the Department judges the student's level of literary or other preparation sufficient for the demands of the course.

Note: Students with credit in English 240 may complete the Foundation Program under the regulations in the 2008-09 Calendar.

Creative Writing Concentration

The designation "Creative Writing Concentration" will appear on the transcripts of students who request this designation from the Undergraduate Programs Office and who have completed at least three full-course equivalents from English 364, 366, 494, 496, 598, Drama 371, 471, 572.01 or 572.29. For English Honours students, one FCE in creative writing may be met by English 504 with a creative writing project. (Admission into these creative writing courses is selective and is based on the submission of a portfolio of the student's work.)
