Period Requirements:
Select either two 300- or 400-level English courses before 1800 and one 300- or 400-level English course after 1800; or one 300- or 400-level English before 1800 and two 300- or 400-level English courses after 1800.

Two 300- or 400-level English courses not used to satisfy any other requirement in the major. One 300- or 400-level foreign-language course, or one 300- or 400-level global or multicultural English literature course.

Select two
General Electives:
Student who elect to take two foreign-language courses at the 200-level to satisfy the foreign-language requirement will take 25 or 27 elective hours; students who satisfy the foreign-language requirement by passing a translation test will take 31 or 33 elective hours.
All candidates for the Bachelor of Arts degree in the School of Arts and Humanities must present at least 42 credit hours at the 300- or 400-level for graduation. These courses may be taken to satisfy major, minor, general education, and/or elective requirements.
English majors are strongly advised to take ENG 102 as part of their general education curriculum. Also, English majors who choose to satisfy their language requirement through course work but who lack the foundation to take language at the intermediate (200) level or pass an intermediate-level translation test should choose a year of foreign language as part of their general education curriculum.
