Honors English Major

Honors Worksheet

The Honors English major consists of two options: (I) Honors in the Liberal Arts with a Major in English and (II) Honors with Distinction in English. Students can do either or both of these. Like the regular English major, the Honors major consists of a minimum of 60 hours (68 minimum for a degree with Distinction). Students are encouraged to use this worksheet to sketch out their ideal major and to consult with one of the Honors advisers as soon as possible after declaring the major.
