BA in English Suggested Study Plan

The following three-year course map represents only one of a great many of possible course maps, since each course map—at least with regard to the courses in the major—will correspond to the profile of the individual student.

In the sample case below, the student is most interested in literature, then in writing, and relatively least in language. Thus her/his course map presents the 34 cr for LAC, the 24 cr of the major core, the 15 cr of the literature option, the 6 cr of the writing option, the 3 cr of the language option, and the 10 cr of free electives. Total = 92cr. of which 48 cr in the major.
