The English Major
English Major Requirements Worksheet
Advising
New majors must meet with the Undergraduate Director for an initial advising session. Continuing majors must meet with their assigned advisor at least once a semester in November and April. Students are expected to consult with their advisor about how best to organize the choices built into the major, which allow for many combinations in a do-it-yourself fashion. However, the English department also provides a number of pathways, each of which offers a set of courses that students can use toward particular goals.
For advising on general education and graduation requirements, check your STAR account and be sure to see an advisor in The Advising Center for the College of Arts, Languages & Letters (Sakamaki D202) at least once a year.
Graduating soon? See your advisor to complete either a goldenrod note in STAR or our departmental goldenrod form. You can then complete a CALL Intent to Graduate form, available on the Forms page of The Advising Center’s website. Check the Graduation section for additional required forms.
