All students majoring or minoring in English must take both AP/EN 1001 3.00 and AP/EN 1002 3.00 and achieve a minimum grade of C in each course before they will be permitted to continue in English. Furthermore, students must successfully complete AP/EN 1001 3.00--that is, with a minimum grade of C--before they may take AP/EN 1002 3.00. Students may only count six credits from a 1000-level English course towards their major or minor program. Students may not count credits from the 2300 series of AP/EN courses (the Popular Genres series) for major or minor credit in English. For a complete list of courses and detailed reading lists, refer to 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, 208 Stong College, 416-736-5166.
