English Courses

Courses

English (ENGL) courses satisfy Area 1 of the Breadth of Study Requirements.

Courses numbered under 100 take a broader focus; courses numbered over 100 take a narrower one. Course numbers are not keyed to difficulty.

Courses offered in the English Department carry a designation or designations indicating which major requirement(s) they can satisfy. Most courses will carry multiple designations; one course can be used to satisfy, at most, two requirements, at the student’s option. No course can be used to satisfy more than one historical requirement.
