Two courses beyond those required for the English major. One course will be chosen from a list of English 300-400 level courses deemed appropriate by the thesis advisor. The second course will be an independent study in which the student will write a thesis in consultation with a full-time English Department faculty member. The thesis will be orally presented and defended to a committee of at least three faculty members, two of whom will be English Department full-time faculty, or presented in a comparable public forum, such as Scholarship Week or a Research Symposium. The thesis must earn a B or better in order for the student to be recommended to the full English Department for honors.<\/p>\n\n\n
