Admission

See 3.1 Admissions and other requirements under 3.5 Graduation.

Requirements

Students accepted into the English major must take at least eight and no more than ten full-course equivalents in English.

The requirements for the major are as follows:

1. The Foundation Program: English 203, 205, 302 and 340. In exceptional circumstances, other courses may be accepted by the Department in lieu of part or all of the Foundation Program, particularly in the case of students transferring from other institutions.

2. At least one half-course equivalent in Canadian Literature.

3. At least three full-course equivalents in English at the 400 level, including at least one full-course equivalent chosen from English 401, 403, 404, 408, 414, 430. Students transferring from other institutions may satisfy part or all of this requirement with appropriate period survey transfer courses – contact the Department for information. Students must supply detailed course outlines for each proposed transfer course, in order for such equivalency to be granted.

4. At least one half-course in English at the 500 level.

5. English courses beyond these specific requirements may be selected from among the Department's 300-, 400-, or 500-level English courses to make up a total of at least eight and no more than ten full-course equivalents in English.

Up to one full-course equivalent selected from the following list may be counted towards the major field: Comparative Literature 405, 517; Drama 371, 471, 572.01, 572.29; Linguistics 321. These courses may not, however, be used to satisfy requirements 1-4 above.

Not every senior course will necessarily be offered every year. Current course offerings, including the specific topics to be taught in 500-level topics courses, are listed in the Schedule of Classes, and more detailed information is available from the Department website.

Other Requirements

Students must satisfy the general Faculty graduation requirements for their program. See 3.5 Graduation.

Students intending to proceed to graduate study in English should be aware that the Honours degree is felt by the Department to constitute the best preparation for such study.
