English General Programme
To fulfill the requirements for a general degree in English, a student must take six courses in English consisting of: 101 or equivalent, 251, one full course equivalent from 270, 350, 362*, 363* (major figures); one full course equivalent from either the category of Language and Early Literature (261, 373, 375) or the category of Historical Periods of British Literature (280, 370, 380, 451); two other approved English credits.
English 101 and 102 are the recommended first-year courses. However, a first year student may—without formal permission from the Department—take courses from the following list instead of 101 and 102: English 105*, 108*, 190*, 211*-212*, and 230*-231*. All other English courses are open to first year students, but only with the permission of the Chairman of the English Department and the instructor of the course. Students may use only one full course equivalent in English from the 100-level to fulfill the minimum English requirements.
English 251 is strongly recommended for second year. With the consent of the Department upper year courses may be taken at any time during the upper years without regard to course number or “level.”
English 140*-141*, 335, and courses in theatre (designated “Drama” in the calendar) may not be included as approved English courses in fulfilling the minimum course requirements for an English Programme, but may be chosen as non-English electives.

The “normal” number of lectures per week in each course is three; however, each instructor determines how often his particular class will meet. In all English courses, emphasis will be placed on student essays written in connection with the reading.
The course will aim at the improvement of both written and spoken English to bring about ease and facility of expression in assignments and oral discussions through a detailed study of basic patterns in Grammar and Idiom and their practical application in writing commentaries, essays or summaries.
An examination of examples of the greatest literature in English and its relation to the periods of its origin. Figures such as Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, Swift, Blake, Keats, Tennyson, Dickens, and T. S. Eliot will be examined. The precise list of readings will depend upon the individual instructor.
