FAQs: Area Requirements

Does English 226 (American Literature, 1865-1925) count as an area II or area III requirement?

It counts as an area III requirement (twentieth century). Although the course covers material from the latter half of the nineteenth century, it deals substantially with literary modernism. The area II requirement is met by English 225 (American Literature, Origins to 1865)

Can area requirements be covered by courses taken JYA or during summer session?

Yes, with approval from the associate chair. In order to receive approval, make an appointment with the associate chair; bring with you a course description from the university catalogue and a copy of the syllabus.

Why doesn’t English 216 (The Novel in English, 1730 to the Present) count towards any area requirement?

Because the material for this course unfolds over four centuries, it cannot dwell in depth on a single historical period.
