Concurrent BA in English/Bachelor of Education

Note:

• A Minor is offered in English.
• A Creative Writing Concentration is offered.

Students choosing to major in English may choose to complete either a BA in English or an Honours BA in English. Both are four-year programs. Minors, Majors and Honours students in English must complete the Foundation Program, consisting of English 203, 205, 302 and 340.

One full-course equivalent of English and/or Comparative Literature at the 200 level will normally constitute the prerequisite for 300-level English courses. Completion of the senior courses of the Foundation Program (English 302 and 340) 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.

The Department of English offers a Concentration in Creative Writing for both English Majors and undergraduate students in other programs.

Notes:

• Students wanting to leave open the option of proceeding 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.
• Students with credit in English 240 may complete the Foundation Program under the regulations in the 2008-09 Calendar.
• Students who declared an English Major prior to 2009-2010 should consult the Department on appropriate course selection.
• The following 300-level courses have no prerequisites: English 311, 317, 351, 353, 355, 371, 372, 382, 383, 384, 385, 387, 388, 389, 391, 393, 395, 396, 397, 399.
• Not every course at the 300 level and above 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.
