English B.A. (Long Island Campus)

Core Courses:

For information about department courses that fulfill core curriculum requirements, consult the Core Curriculum Guide 2011 . Continuing students will follow the core curriculum in the 2009-2011 Catalogue.

The Major:

39 credits in addition to those earned in ENG 103 .

One course must be in literature of the English Renaissance and one must be in the area of medieval literature before 1550.

In addition:

Note(s):

An average of B-, 2.7 or higher, must be achieved and maintained in the 400 level “capstone” courses.

N.B. for Transfer Students:

Because the English Department requires that 18 of the 39 major credits be in courses at the 200 level or above, transfer students who have completed a program in Creative Writing will probably need all 18; those who have taken a literature sequence will have each course evaluated in reference to the St. Joseph’s College Catalogue. Introductory courses will transfer at the 100 level; more specialized studies may transfer at the 200 level. Developmental or remedial courses do not count toward the major; neither does any standard Composition course which is a College requirement.

A maximum of 18 English credits may be accepted for the major.

Minor and English Major Track in Film/Media Studies:

18 credits including ENG 111 , with at least 12 credits at the 200-level or above. For details, see Interdisciplinary Programs, here . No more than six credits in Film/Media courses may be counted toward the English major or concentration.
