Advising Notes
- A single course may fulfill the requirement in more than one of the above content categories, with approval of the program advisor, but will not reduce the number of total units required for the major.
- The language requirement may be fulfilled by a sequence of two semesters of the same language. However, if a student demonstrates advanced proficiency by completing the final course in a language sequence (e.g., the fourth semester course in a language), or an advanced reading course, that single course may fulfill this requirement with the approval of the faculty advisor.
- CR/NC grading is not permitted in the English major with the exception of 2 units total of ENGL 186.
- General Education and elective units may be used toward a double major or minor (see double major or departmental minor). Consult the appropriate department chair, program coordinator, or faculty advisor for further information.
- Courses counted to fulfill a minor cannot also be used to fulfill major requirements.
- ENGL 105 and ENGL 106W provide a basis for most Upper Division coursework. Therefore, those classes should be completed by first semester of a student’s Junior year, or as soon as possible thereafter.
- English majors considering eventual graduate degrees should consult the graduate advisor.
