All students must take three years of English before a diploma will be granted. Fourth year English offers some very unique courses to the student. The required course is divided into two distinct phases, composition and literature. The composition course, which trains one in the fundamentals of our language, is given to all the 91, 101 and 111 classes. However, they may choose between a one semester course which deals in the types of literature and a two semester course which covers English literature from Beowulf to Galsworthy.
