Related Courses

As part of the field of study, English majors must complete Related Courses to complement the major requirements. Related courses must total twelve credits that are 2000 level or above. The courses must be outside of the Department of English, cannot be cross-listed with English, and cannot be taken on a pass/fail grading basis.  The English Department has approved the use of courses from a number of academic disciplines. Courses from Departments not on the approved list may be used to satisfy the related requirement with approval by the English Major Advisor.

Students pursuing a double major or minor will often apply those courses toward the related course requirements.  Some students select courses that will help them prepare for a future career or academic interests.  The student’s choice of related courses should be discussed with their advisor for guidance and, if necessary, approval.
