English and Literature Electives
General Information To fulfill the general education requirement, students must complete the following:
Two basic courses (EN 1014 or EN 1034, and EN 1204, taken in this order)

The English/Literature offerings are divided into two levels: Introductory (2000-level) and Advanced (3000-level). The introductory literature courses are designed to introduce students to intensive reading and research in either a particular literary genre or in survey courses.In a genre course such as Poetry, other forms of cultural expression such as painting or nonfiction prose may be considered when appropriate, or the instructor may choose to include poetry from a range of national literatures. Advanced Studies courses are designed to allow students to explore at a more advanced level specific cultural, aesthetic, and historical questions through (1) reading and writing about literary texts from specific national and cultural traditions or (2) exploring the interrelations between literary expression and other forms of cultural, social and political discourse. May be repeated for credit, provided that the topic differs.The fourth credit hour for all Literature courses takes the form of an increased communication component (at least four graded writing assignments, regular informal writing and individual or group presentations) and an intercultural/interdisciplinary component. For example, in a Shakespeare survey course, the intercultural/interdisciplinary component might be readings in Renaissance philosophy, history, or art history. In an American literature survey course, this component might be readings in American and European political history.All literature courses include a final exam or final project.
