4 Majoring in English at the University of Rhode Island Welcome to the Department of English! We re delighted that you are interested in our major. We have designed a major that gives you a solid foundation in literary history and theory and that encourages you to pursue your interests in the field. No two English majors are the same. Only one specific course is required for the major (ENG 201); you choose the rest from a wide array of offerings, including creative writing and film. This flier provides you with an overview of the requirements for the English major, followed by a detailed checklist to help you plan your semesters here at URI. General Overview You must take the introductory course ENG 201, preferably in your first or second year. Only declared English majors may register for this course. If you are not officially registered as an English major, the e-campus system will not allow you to enroll for it. Be sure to declare your major officially in order to avoid this inconvenience. You will take at least one course in each of five historical periods. The following courses fulfill the historical period requirements: 1. Pre-1500: ENG 251 British Literature I; ENG 367 The Epic; ENG 368 The Bible; ENG 381 Topics in Medieval Literature; ENG 478 Medieval Authors : ENG 251 British Literature I; ENG 280 Introduction to Shakespeare; ENG 345 Topics in American Colonial Literatures; ENG 382 Topics in Renaissance Literature; ENG 472 Shakespeare; ENG 479 Renaissance Authors : ENG 241 U.S. Literature I; ENG 251 British Literature I; ENG 345 Topics in American Colonial Literatures; ENG 346 U.S. Enlightenment Literature and Culture; ENG 374 British Literature: ; ENG 377 Topics in Romanticism; ENG 480 British restoration and Enlightenment Authors; ENG 482 American Enlightenment Authors : ENG 241 U.S. Literature I; ENG 242 U.S. Literature II; ENG 252 British Literature II; ENG 347 Antebellum U.S. Literature and Culture; ENG 348 U.S. Literature and Culture from 1865 to 1914; ENG 376 Topics in Victorian Literature and Culture; ENG 377 Topics in Romanticism; ENG 448 Traditions of the Novel in the Americas; ENG 484 U.S. Authors: 19th Century; ENG 486 British Authors: 19th Century present: ENG 242 U.S. Literature II; ENG 248 African-American Literature from 1900 to the Present; ENG 252 British Literature II; ENG 317 Contemporary Women Novelists of the Americas; ENG 348 U.S. Literature and Culture from 1865 to 1914; ENG 362 African-American Literary Genres (Other than Short Story and Novel); ENG 363 African-American Fiction; ENG 364 Contemporary African Literature; ENG 378 Aspects of Postmodernism; ENG 379 Contemporary Literature; ENG 383 Modernist Literature, ; ENG 387 Foundational Texts in Modern Gay and Lesbian Culture; ENG 446 Modern Drama; ENG 447 Modern Poetry; ENG 448 Traditions of the Novel in the Americas; ENG 469 The Modern Novel; ENG 485 U.S. Authors After 1900; ENG 488 British Authors After revised 3/11

5 Beyond the introductory course and the historical courses, you will take 12 additional credits of electives chosen from among the department s offerings at the 200-level and above. At least 20 credits of the major must be completed at the 300-level or above. You may take as few as 36 credits and as many as 52 credits in English toward completion of the Bachelor s degree. Introductory course: ENG 201 Worksheet and checklist for the English major Historical periods (please refer to list of appropriate courses, overleaf): Pre-1500: : : : 1900-present: Electives: Elective one: Elective two: Elective three: Number of 300- and 400-level credits: out of 20 (minimum) To keep in mind as you plan your own version of the major: You need 120 credits to complete a BA in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Rhode Island. This total includes credits from your major(s), and minor(s), general education courses, and transfer credits, internship credits, and electives. Of the 120 credits required for the BA, 42 of them must be at the 300- and 400-level. We require that you take a minimum of 20 credits at the 300-level or above for the English major. The minimum in English will thus leave you 22 credits short of the overall total you need to graduate. A good option for most English majors is to take more than five courses in English at the 300- and 400-levels. Please note: English majors cannot take ENG courses toward the satisfaction of the General Education requirements in the Literature or Letters categories. You may take approved General Education courses cross-listed with English (such as ENG/AAF 248 or ENG/CLS 160) or appropriate courses in other departments. This restriction does not pertain to most double majors (please check with an advisor to be sure of your status). revised 3/11
