The Class of 2022 must declare by Thursday, November 14, 2019.
All students should follow these steps:
Review our Guide for Concentrators and Honors Program Information to familiarize yourself with the English concentration requirements. See how your courses fit into our different tracks. These informal documents will help you complete the official Plan of Study document in Step 3:

Honors Program: Non-Thesis Track (14 courses)
Elective Program (11 courses)
Honors Program: Joint Track (6-8 courses)
This will be a faculty member you work with for the duration of your English concentration. It can be someone you’ve taken a class with or someone you share an interest with. We’re happy to make recommendations, and we’d like you to have an advisor in place when you declare. Send emails, go to office hours, get to know our faculty. All non-creative writing faculty are eligible to be concentration advisors.
