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 EAP Program offers classes for both undergraduate and graduate students. Except for W130 and 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—G009, G010, G011, and G012—focuses on fundamental language skills. It is designed to improve pronunciation, listening comprehension, and the students’ 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 G013 or EAP W131, with the exception of G012, which may be taken simultaneously with those two courses.
