A minimum of 55 credits as follows (maximum of 20 credits at the 200 level, including the required course ENGL 202, can apply toward major requirements; all remaining English major credits must be taken at the 300 or 400 level):

It is recommended these courses be completed by the first quarter of admission to the major and no later than the second quarter after admission. ENGL 202 and 197 may also satisfy prerequisites for admission to the major. Note that students who apply the major by presenting alternative prerequisite ENGL courses must still complete ENGL 202/197; there are no substitutes for these courses, and they are required of all English majors for graduation purposes.
2. ENGL 302 (Critical Practice): 5 credits
3. English Core (25 credits): at least 5 credits from each of the three categories below. A maximum of 10 credits at the 200 level may be applied towards the core.
