 Students intending to major in English in the College of Arts and Sciences should,
at the earliest possible opportunity, consult with the student counsellor of the Depart-
ment, and plan their programs.
 The Departmental Major: For the departmental major the following courses, or
their equivalents, are required: EH. 201-202, one semester of Shakespeare (EH. 301
or EH. 302), and EH. 406. At least half of the major program should be in courses
numbered 300 or above, and at least six hours should be in courses numbered 400 or
above. EH. 255 and EH. 356 may not be counted for credit towards the minimum
departmental major. A foreign language should be elected at least as early as the
sophomore year.
 In exceptional cases, specified departmental requirements, including prerequisites,
may be waived by consent of the departmental adviser.
The statement "Offered 1" means offered first semester; 2, second semester; 3, summer session.
