The Department of English offers a major in English, a minor in English, and a combined major in English and journalism
The major in English is suitable for many purposes, both professional and cultural. By properly selecting courses, the student may prepare for postgraduate work in literature and language; meet the English requirements for secondary teaching certification; develop writing skills, both in creative and in expository writing; obtain appropriate pre-professional training for areas such as law; or study broadly in the literary culture of English-speaking peoples. A rich variety of courses is offered each year, and there is opportunity within the major for any student to explore areas of special interest: for example, American literature, the Renaissance, drama, the English language, and modern and contemporary literature.
Requirements for a Major: 31 semester hours (not counting 0003, 1013, 1023, and 3003) to include: Introduction to the English Major (1211), six hours of Survey of English Literature (2113 and 2123); three hours of Practical Criticism (2253); three hours of Major American Writers (3303) or six hours of Survey of American Literature (3313 and 3323); three hours of poetry, fiction, or drama (3203, 3213, or 3223) or three hours of Honors Senior Seminar (4223H); three hours of Introduction to Shakespeare (3653); and at least nine additional hours in courses numbered above 3003.

For this reason all students who fulfill the requirements for a major in English thereby fulfill the Fulbright College writing requirement.
Requirements for a Major with Emphasis on Creative Writing: 37 or 40 semester hours (not counting 0003, 1013, 1023, and 3003) to include: Introduction to the English Major (1211); Essay Writing (2013) or a course in Press Journalism approved by the student's adviser; Imaginative Writing (2023); six hours of Survey of English Literature (2113 and 2123); three hours of Practical Criticism (2253); Creative Writing (3013); Short Story Writing (3033) or Undergraduate Poetry Workshop (4013) or Undergraduate Fiction Workshop (4023); Translation Workshop (302V) or Undergraduate Poetry Workshop (if not previously taken) or Undergraduate Fiction Workshop (if not previously taken); Poetry (3203); Fiction (3213); Major American Writers (3303) or six hours of Survey of American Literature (3313 and 3323); Introduction to Shakespeare (3653).
Requirements for Departmental Honors in English: The Departmental Honors Program in English allows upper-division undergraduates to strengthen their study of English and adapt it to their interests. Honors candidates enroll in special courses and do directed independent study and research. In addition to the college and departmental requirements for the major in English and the general college requirements for the B.A. degree, honors candidates in English must (1) be accepted as honors candidates by the department; (2) enroll in four one-hour units of ENGL 399VH; (3) write an honors thesis, either a critical study or a creative writing project; and (4) defend the candidate's entire honors program in an oral examination. Candidates may petition to enroll in a departmental graduate seminar. Candidates who complete the honors program with merit will graduate with the distinction "English Scholar Cum Laude." The distinctions of Magna Cum Laude and Summa Cum Laude will be awarded only for exceptional work and will be based on the candidate's entire honors program.
Requirements for the Minor: 18 hours of English (not counting 0003, 1013, 1023, 1102, and 3003) to include: six hours of survey of literature courses (2113, 2123, 3313, 3323, 3303, except that credit may not be earned both for 3303 and either half of the Surveys of American Literature); and twelve additional hours of which at least nine must be in courses numbered above 3003. WLIT 1113 and one upper-division World Literature course may be counted. ENGL 1211 is recommended but not required.
Combined Major in English and Journalism: The English requirements for the combined major in English and journalism are as follows: 24 semester hours (not counting 0003, 1013, 1023, 1102, and 3003) to include: nine hours of survey of literature courses (2113, 2123, 3313, 3323, 3303, except that credit may not be earned both for 3303 and either half of the Survey of American Literature); and fifteen additional hours of which at least twelve must be in courses numbered above 3003.

A minimum of 24 semester hours beyond six hours of English and world literature courses which meet requirements in the basic program must be taken.
