English courses which satisfy Division II Literature Courses for students who have matriculated prior to the Fall Semester of 2007:

The Department of English has made changes in its divisional offerings which will become effective in the fall of 2007. Students must satisfy the basic writing requirement (English 111) before enrolling in a Division II course in English: we urge students to enroll in their core literature courses before their junior year. Students who have matriculated prior to the fall of 2007 must take two literature courses to satisfy the Division II requirement. One of these courses must be ENG 160, 165, 170 or 175.* These courses introduce significant works in various genres from different periods of British or American literature.

Students choosing to take the second Division II requirement outside English should consult the "Divisional Requirements" section of the Bulletin of Wake Forest University. Students wishing to satisfy both of their Division II requirements in the Department of English may take either of the other courses from 160/165 and 170/175 or one of the following new courses:

English 150: Literature Interprets the World. (3 hr) Emphasis on learning to interpret literature as a way of thinking through philosophical, ethical, social, historical, and cultural problems and phenomena. Writing Intensive; seminar

English 185: Interpreting Global Literature (3 hr.) Emphasis on significant writers representing different nationalities, periods and genres. Writing intensive; seminar.

English 190: Literary Genres
