The major in English consists of 34 credits in English with a grade of C or better, exclusive of 50:989:101-102. All majors must take:

3. Communication (3 credits). Any course in Communication (192), Journalism (570), Rhetoric (842), or Writing (989).
4. Two literary history courses (6 credits): 50:350:300 Foundations of Literature and any 300-level pre-1800 course.

7. 50:350:400 Portfolio Seminar (1 credit)
One of the above courses must satisfy the diversity requirement.
Grades of D: A student may satisfy specific departmental requirements with a course grade of D, but the credits for that course may not be included in the 34 required for the major. Any Department of English and Communication course(s) may be taken to make up the deficit.
