Department of English and Humanities
 

I. The Undergraduate Program

The Department of English and Humanities is one of the few departments where every undergraduate student is taught for successive Terms, usually within the student's first two years at the University. The department tries to develop in students not only basic communication skills in the lingua franca of the world, but also in other key areas necessary both to intellectual and professional advancement: humanistic content, analysis, argumentation, rhetoric, stylistics and so on. These broad offerings to all students make the department one of the major nodal points in the University's Liberal Arts curriculum.

For undergraduate students wishing to major in this department, it offers a four-year BA Honors in English Program with a concentration either in English Literature or English Language. This program has been designed for the undergraduate students of the University. From the third year a student will concentrate on one of the two major areas: English Literature or English Language.

The Department's courses are not confined to traditional disciplinary boundaries, but open to inter- and cross-disciplinary offerings. This dynamic approach allows students to develop skills and sensibilities required not only for modern English language and literature teachers but vital across professional fields: communications and media, business and marketing, and so on.

II. Degree Requirements (Bachelor of Arts in English):
Total course requirements for degree program are as follows:

Major 27 courses (81 credits)  
General Education 10 courses (30 credits)  
Optional/Minor 05 courses (96 credits)  

Total 42 courses (126 credits)

For students enrolled in a 4 year bachelor's program, both tuition and graduation requirements are computed on the basis of courses rather than credits.
