BA English

Hey, I was wondering if anyone had a template for BA in English? I am going to be going through Thomas Edison and was needing some help for planning it all out. Thanks.

I'm not studying at TESC, but I am an English major so I'm familiar with the courses available. Here is a possible outline of TESC's English major. The major requires 6 credits of Survey of Literature I & II, 3 credits of Analysis and Interpretation of Literature, 3 credits in Nonwestern Literature, and 21 credits in English electives. Here is a breakdown of the requirements with possibilities for fulfilling them. Of course, always get approval in advance from your advisor to ensure courses will meet the requirements.

I created this list using credit-by-exam whenever possible, but there are certainly many regular courses that will also fulfill the requirements. All of the courses listed below, with the exception of the Nonwestern Literature courses, are credit-by-exam. I do not know of any credit-by-exam options that will fulfill the Nonwestern Literature requirement, so those are just courses. For the Nonwestern Lit courses, I listed some of the more affordable options with which I am familiar.
