* AEGL 468, Studies in Writing, is a special topics course that may apply to either Theory or to Practical Applications depending on the nature of the project defined by the student and instructor. The English faculty recommends that students planning to attend graduate school take the second year of a foreign language. It is also advisable that the student take as electives as many upper-level English courses as possible.
Students seeking the bachelor's degree in English must earn a grade of C or better in all required English courses at the 200 level and above in order for those courses to count toward their major program.

An exit survey is required of all graduating seniors.
