PROGRAM
The English major consists of no fewer than 12 courses, of which at least 7 must be upper-division courses. The core of the major
PROGRAM
consists of six courses:

- ENGLISH 45A-45B-45C;
- a course in Shakespeare;
- an upper-division course in literature before 1800; and
- one upper-division seminar -- ENGLISH 190 (Research Seminar)
These 6 required courses plus 6 elective courses in English combine for the total 12 courses needed to complete the major.

The College of Letters and Science requires students admitted as junior transfers to declare a major during their first or second
semester at Berkeley.

To declare the English major, students must complete two courses: 45A or 45B and one of the following: 45A, 45B, 45C, or
Shakespeare. Reading and Composition (R&C) courses do not count as any of the 12 courses needed to fulfill the English major
requirements.

ENGLISH 45A-45B-45C series is an intensive survey of literature in English from Chaucer through the 20th Century, including British,
American, and Anglophone writing. Together with the required course in Shakespeare, this sequence provides a foundation on which to
build more specialized upper-division coursework. ENGLISH 45B and ENGLISH 45C incorporates British & American literature.

Of the required courses, only ENGLISH 45A (Literature in English through Milton) and Shakespeare are widely available at community
colleges. It is possible to have an English Department major adviser assess a UC-transferable, non-articulated course for partial
fulfillment of a required course (e.g., the British or American half of 45B or 45C). To do so, the adviser will ask to review not only your
transcripts, but course syllabi, reading lists, and written work. These must be presented by the student once they arrive at UCB. Only 5
lower-division courses will be accepted toward the major.
