<York Calendars<Undergraduate Calendar 2001-2002<Faculty of Arts<Programs of Study English All students majoring in English must take 6 credits in a 1000-level English course among their first 60 university credits. Students majoring in English are advised to take at least 12 credits in 2000-level English courses among their 30th to 60th credits. Students may only count 6 credits from a 1000-level English course towards their major program. For a complete list of courses and detailed reading lists, see the department's supplemental calendar. Students intending to proceed to graduate school should take a broad range of courses, should avoid concentration in a particular period or genre, and, in consultation with a member of the English Department, should plan a degree program with the understanding that certain traditional subjects may be regarded as essential by some graduate schools. Students intending to teach in Ontario schools must meet the varied requirements of various Faculties of Education, and are advised to construct a balanced degree program by doing at least some work in each major period in literary history: such students should consult specific Faculties of Education about their regulations. Students are responsible for planning their course of study and for ensuring that all degree and major requirements are met. Members of the department will be available during the summer months, as well as during the term, to advise those students who have questions about their program or about English studies in general. Enquiries may be made through the Undergraduate Office, 208E Stong, 416-736-5166. Area Requirements All English courses (above the 1000 level) are placed in eight areas as listed below.
