ENG ENGLISHOn this page: Introduction | Faculty Members | Programs | Courses See also: Course Summer Timetable | Course Winter Timetable | Secondary School Information | More on Department IntroductionThe Department of English offers a wide range of courses. Whether an individual course provides a knowledge of one author or one genre or an entire period, its aim is to deepen the student's awareness and appreciation of a distinguished literary tradition. More broadly, studying English develops skills of analysis and expression that are required by all areas of research, business, and professional activity, and that are essential to success both within and beyond university. Courses are arranged in four series. This gradation denotes the level of work expected. Courses in the 100-series are introductory. The 200-series provides courses at both an introductory level and an intermediate level. The 300- and 400-series courses are more advanced. English Programs provide students with the opportunity to become acquainted with a variety of authors, periods, genres and critical approaches. The Specialist Program is not designed to meet specific requirements for entrance into the School of Graduate Studies and students should consult the Graduate Department of English at 7 King's College Circle for advice about course selection. Similarly, students considering a teaching career in Ontario should consult the Faculty of Education. Students pursuing a Minor, Major or Specialist Program in English should seek counselling from the Discipline Representative in their College or from the Office of the Associate Chair. The Department of English publishes an Undergraduate Brochure each year which is usually available to students by mid-April. The Brochure provides detailed course descriptions, reading lists for individual sections, and information concerning program requirements and enrolment. Where possible, the Department has tried to ensure that the class size of most English courses remains comparatively small. In order to maintain these conditions, enrolment in many sections is limited. All students interested in taking an English course are urged to consult the Undergraduate Brochure for detailed information. Undergraduate Counselling: 7 King's College Circle (978-5026) General Enquiries: 7 King's College Circle (978-3190)

Students with fewer than four full course credits may enrol in ENG 201Y and 202Y provided they enrol in one of ENG 110Y, 120Y, 130Y or 140Y as a co-requisite.
