The English Department offers the university community a range of composition courses that develop the skill of writing effective prose, a skill essential to undergraduate work and to communication in society generally. Students can also enjoy and profit from a broad range of literature courses offered by the department, including a number of lower-division courses designed especially with the non-English major in mind.

MAJOR

The English major offers a well-balanced, thought-provoking program for students with a serious interest in the study of literature. Students begin the program by taking a course that introduces them to the tools of literary analysis and to a selection of literary genres. They then go on to complete a series of requirements that encourage engagement with a broad range of English and American literary texts and cultural practices, choosing from among courses organized in a variety of ways. Courses may focus on periods such as Medieval, Renaissance, Eighteenth Century, Romantic, Victorian, American, African American, Asian American, Chicano/Latino, Modern, and Contemporary literature; genres such as the dream vision, the Gothic novel, or film noir; areas such as postcolonial literature, film and visual cultures, gender and sexuality, or cultural studies; authors such as Chaucer, Austen, Dickinson, Wilde; major works such as Hamlet, Ulysses or Beloved; critical theory; the history of the English language; and creative writing. Combining tradition with innovation, structure with flexibility, the program allows students considerable freedom within the major to select courses according to their own interests.

Information about advisors is available in the department office from the undergraduate student affairs assistant.

Minor

The English minor is designed to provide a good view of the whole field of English and American Literature, an opportunity for the exercise of disciplined literary analysis, and a varied experience of the best literature in English. At both levels, the student is free to choose areas of particular interest and yet is guaranteed something of an overview.

See Minors under the College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences in the Undergraduate Studies section of this catalog for additional information on minors.

Subject A Requirement

For regulations governing the Subject A requirement, see Subject A under Requirements for the Bachelor's Degree in the Undergraduate Studies section of this catalog. Students who have fulfilled the Subject A requirement may enroll in ENGL 001A. Students who are held for the requirement must take the Diagnostic Essay Examination, the results of which indicate whether they should enroll in ENGL 001A, BSWT 003, or a qualifier course. For information about qualifier courses, which offer eligible students instruction designed to help them fulfill the Subject A requirement, students may contact the English Department.

Teaching Credential Preparation Programs

Students interested in becoming teachers at the elementary or secondary school level may combine the English major with a program of study leading to the multiple subjects (elementary) or single subject (secondary) credential preparation program. Details and counseling on the Bridge to Teaching Program, a program for the multiple subjects credential, are available in the Liberal Studies and Interdisciplinary Programs office, (909) 787-2743. Details and counseling on other programs are available in the Department of English or the Graduate School of Education.

Education Abroad Program

The English Department encourages eligible students to participate in the Education Abroad Program (EAP). The EAP is an excellent opportunity to travel and learn more about another country and its culture while taking courses which earn units toward graduation. In addition to year-long programs, a wide range of shorter options is available. While on EAP, students are still eligible for financial assistance. Students are advised to plan study abroad well in advance to ensure that the courses taken fit with their overall program at UCR. Consult the departmental student affairs officer for assistance. For further details visit UCR's International Services Center at internationalcenter.ucr.edu or call (909) 787-4113.

See Education Abroad Program under International Services Center in the Student Services section of this catalog. A list of participating countries is found under Education Abroad Program in the Curricula and Courses section.

GRADUATE PROGRAM

All domestic and international applicants for graduate status in the Department of English must supply GRE General Test scores (quantitative and verbal taken within the past five years) prior to their admission.

Master's Degree

The M.A. program in English, Plan II (Comprehensive Examination), is designed to encourage a broad familiarity with several fields of historical, theoretical, and genre-centered research within the discipline of English studies. For students who intend to go on for the Ph.D., such familiarity enables them to select the fields that will be the focus of a more specialized doctoral project.

Foreign Language Students must demonstrate a reading knowledge of a foreign language. Such knowledge should make possible the development of an international dimension to the understanding of historical, theoretical, and genre-centered research.

Course Work Students must pass with a grade of "B" or better a minimum of 42 units of course work, including ENGL 200 (Introduction to Graduate Study in English), ENGL 296 (Master's Portfolio), and at least 28 units in other 200-series courses, excluding ENGL 280, ENGL 290, ENGL 291, ENGL 292, and ENGL 299.

Eight (8) units of 100-series courses (excluding ENGL 103 and ENGL 190) may be counted toward the degree. Each student's specific program is individually structured in consultation with the graduate advisor.

Essays and Comprehensive Examination In the sixth quarter of the program, the student submits a portfolio of three essays, one of which has been revised according to the terms of ENGL 296, and a 750-1000 word metacommentary explaining the aims and achievements of the essays. The student is then examined orally for one hour on the material in the portfolio. Following this examination, the graduate committee, after the evaluation of the entire student file, determines which of the master's degree recipients may continue into the Ph.D. program.

Doctoral Degree

The aim of the doctoral program in English is to encourage advanced students to become informed teachers and scholar-critics capable of significant original literary scholarship.

Admission Admission to the Ph.D. program is open to holders of the UCR M.A. who have been recommended to go on and to qualified candidates with a master's degree, preferably in English, from other institutions.

Foreign Language Students entering from other institutions that required a foreign language for the Master's degree must demonstrate a reading ability in a second foreign language before advancement to candidacy. In lieu of a second foreign language, students may complete one of three alternatives involving the first foreign language or a related field approved by the Graduate Committee. For details consult the graduate advisor or english.ucr.edu.

Students entering from institutions that did not require a foreign language for the Master's degree must demonstrate reading knowledge of one foreign language. The alternatives as described above are not available to these students.

Course Work The student, in consultation with the graduate advisor, selects two of the seminar fields and a correlated area of study, or simply three fields; with these emphases in mind, the student maps a course of intensive study through at least 36 units of 200-series courses, excluding ENGL 280, ENGL 291, ENGL 292, and ENGL 299, leading toward a qualifying examination and a dissertation. Up to 4 units of ENGL 290 may be counted toward the 36 units.

Dissertation and Final Oral Examination The dissertation should be related to the individualized course of study preceding it and should draw out the best research and critical talents of the candidate.

For a more detailed description of the requirements for the M.A. or the Ph.D., contact the Graduate Assistant, Department of English.
