The Department of English offers a wide variety of courses in British, American and African- American literature as well as in creative writing, cultural studies, composition, and film.
120 hours (minimum)
Any student earning a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree must complete a minimum of 60 hours in natural, physical, mathematical, and computer science. Courses with an ENG prefix are generally not accepted towards fulfilling this 60- hour requirement. Therefore, be sure to keep this requirement in mind as you choose your course work for the requirements in the major. For the ENG B.S. in particular, majors are allowed to apply an additional 9 hours of elective course work towards the science requirement. See the complete description of College requirements for a Bachelor of Science degree , including a specific listing of courses applicable to the 60-hour requirement.
