Note:

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.

The prerequisite for 300-level English courses is normally 6 units (1.0 full-course equivalent) of English and/or Comparative Literature at the 200 level. 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.
