Important Course Changes
There are two major course changes (effective Fall 2019) that will affect several students, including English majors, going forward. Many of our lower-division GE courses have been combined into one variable-topics course number: ENG 250. And many of our upper-division Global Literatures courses have been combined into another variable-topics course: ENG 640.
Both of these courses can be repeated for credit as long as you take different topics (no more than four times). You can also take multiple sections of the same course concurrently as long as they are different topics. The full list of the former course numbers can be found below.

- Double-counting GE courses: English courses that fulfill GE requirements (e.g. 602) may be counted both for credit in the major/minor and in GE. The department follows the university policy that allows double-counting up to 12 units.
