The major in English requires a minimum of thirty hours in courses above English 111, at least twenty-four hours of which must be in advanced language and literature courses numbered 300 to 399. The advanced courses for the major must include Shakespeare, two additional courses (six hours) in British literature before 1800, one course in American literature, and a major seminar, ENG 300, which must be taken no later than the spring semester of the junior year. All English majors, except late declarers, must pre-register in the spring of their sophomore year for the major seminar. No more than two advanced writing courses (383, 398, and 399) may be counted toward the major. Majors and their advisers plan individual programs to meet these requirements and to include work in the major literary genres. No more than two courses (six hours) taken elsewhere may be counted toward the twenty-four hours of 300-level English courses required for the major. This limitation applies to courses taught in approved non-Wake Forest programs, not to courses in programs offered or sponsored by Wake Forest. Note: A minimum grade-point average of 2.0 in courses which comprise the major or minor is required for graduation with any major or minor this department offers. |
