English, Honors Concentration, Major

Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

The Honors concentration is an enhancement of the two existing concentrations in English. All English majors must select either the Writing or Literature concentration. Honors students draw upon courses in both concentrations and complete an additional 12 units, or 3 courses, beyond the requirements of the major. In addition, students write an Honors Thesis incorporating both creative and critical components.
