<Undergraduate Courses and Programs English Arts: The English Department offers a variety of courses in the literature of the English language. There are courses in historical periods from medieval to contemporary, in the literature of several nations (Canadian and post-colonial as well as English and American), in the various literary genres such as poetry, fiction, drama, non-fictional prose and criticism and in literary theory. In addition, during their final 36 credits, Honours English majors may propose their own thesis (AS/EN 4160 6.00). The department also offers an Honours BA in Professional Writing and a Specialized Honours BA in English and Professional Writing. Atkinson: Please note: The names of writers included in the course descriptions below are representative. The actual selection of writers studied in each offering of a course title is at the discretion of the instructor. For specifics, always consult the current course outline. Glendon: Students are strongly advised to consult the departmental mini-calendar as courses change from year to year. All essays and exams in English courses must be written in English unless permission to write in French has been given by the course director. Courses in English 1000-Level Courses Note for Arts: Students who have passed 54 or more credits may enrol in 1000-level courses only if they have permission in writing from the course director and the director of undergraduate studies in English. Note for Atkinson: Open to any student for elective credit only. 2000-Level Courses Note for Arts: A limited number of places in 2000-level courses are open to students in their first year of University study (0 to 23 credits successfully completed). Students who have passed 84 or more credits may not enrol in 2000-level courses. 3000-Level Courses Arts students: Note 1: Students who have passed at least 24 but fewer than 54 credits may enrol in 3000-level courses, space permitting, only if they have written permission from the course director and the director of undergraduate studies in English.

Atkinson students: Note: AK/EN 3000-level major and elective courses. Open to any student for elective credit. English major students rely on this list to assemble major study modules. The arrangement of courses also reflects English major period requirements. More information about the modules can be found in the degree requirements and on the Joseph E. Atkinson Faculty of Professional and Liberal Studies; SAL/English Web site. 4000-Level Courses Arts students: Note: Honours students who have passed at least 54 but fewer than 84 credits may enrol in 4000-level courses only if they have written permission from the course director and the director of undergraduate studies in English. Atkinson students: Prerequisite for all English courses at this level is registration in an Honours program and 78 credits. For students with equivalent preparation, permission of the coordinator of English must be obtained. Most of the following courses fall quite clearly into one or another of the required periods, as designated. Students taking courses not so designated may sometimes fulfill a period requirement by concentrating their work in a specific area, in consultation with the course director. Note: Honours students may need a 4000-level course in a particular period to complete their degree. If such a course is not being offered in any given session, students should contact the coordinator of English. English is offered by the Faculties of Arts, Atkinson and Glendon.
