English (ENG, EAP, FILM, LING)
The 100-level courses meet general degree requirements, but do not satisfy those of the major. The 200-level courses introduce basic areas of study and provide cultural and intellectual development for the nonmajor; these courses also provide a firm foundation for students who wish to continue advanced studies in English. The more advanced and specialized 300-level courses are open to juniors and seniors (or others with consent of the instructor). Usually conducted as seminars, the 400-level courses are intensive studies of special subjects. Although the English department does not have prerequisites indicated for most courses, it is highly recommended that students complete W131 before taking any other English courses.

English for Academic Purposes (EAP)
International students are placed into appropriate EAP courses according to their scores on the EAP placement test. The classes are open to both undergraduate and graduate students. Except for ENG W130 and ENG W131, credits from these courses will not count toward a degree; however, grades awarded will be included in the student’s grade point average. The English for Academic Purposes sequence—ENG G009, ENG G010, ENG G011, and ENG G012—focuses on fundamental language skills. It is designed to correct pronunciation problems, to improve listening comprehension, and to improve the student’s ability to participate actively and effectively in a range of communication situations, from simple conversation to seminar discussion. Although emphasis is on speaking proficiency in English, basic reading, writing, and study skills are essential components of these courses. Students must complete all other required EAP courses before enrolling in ENG G013 or ENG W131 (the section specified for EAP students), with the exception of ENG G012, which may be taken simultaneously with those two courses.

Special Purpose Courses
The following courses serve special purposes. Enrollment in them is not limited to history majors or minors, but others should check with the departmental chairperson or the instructor prior to registration.
Undergraduate Courses
History courses numbered 200 or above are usually taken by students with a background such as that provided in the 100-level courses; however, students who are mature and who have a good background in history may enroll in 200- to 400-level courses as their first courses in history. Note: There are several 300-level classes offered at IU Bloomington that have the same content as 400-level classes offered at IUPUI. In such cases, both classes may not be taken for credit. See individual course descriptions for further information.
