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 seriesfor major or minor credit in English or AP/CLTR 1953 6.00 (cross-listed to: AP/EN 1953 6.00, AP/HUMA 1953 6.00) for major or minor credit in English.

For a complete list of courses and detailed reading lists, refer to the department's websiteat www.yorku.ca/laps/en.
Students intending to proceed to graduate school should take a broad range of courses, should avoid concentration in only one 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. The department will provide advisers during the summer months, fall and winter terms 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.
