Major students are required to take a 36-credit program, the specific content of which differs in the three options available. Each student must choose one of these options. Faculty policy states that, after taking the 36-credit major and an 18-credit minor in another department, students may take an additional 18-credit minor in English. Such an additional minor is normally in one of the Department's Options other than that of the student's Major program; however, a student is permitted by Faculty to add an additional minor in the same Option as that of the Major program. Such an additional minor can only be constructed in close and ongoing consultation with the Director of Undergraduate Studies.

English Department Drama Productions

Major Productions

The Department stages one Fall production and one Winter production. Students may have the guidance of semi- or professional directors, designers, and technical support according to the demands of the play, timelines, production and workload and areas of expertise of current Drama faculty and staff. Students enrolled in Scenery or Costuming courses have the opportunity to acquire intensive experience in practical pre-production work and crew work during performances for course credit. Performers are cast from Drama and Theatre majors interested in acting and others who are eligible to audition including 缅北强奸 students from other Faculties, alumnae and 缅北强奸 faculty and staff members. Usually the actors selected for the major productions have had a substantial range of performance activity at 缅北强奸 or elsewhere; however, all students enrolled in Drama and Theatre courses are encouraged to audition. Acting in a major production is a non-credit activity.

Tuesday Night Cafe Theatre

The English Department Drama and Theatre Program sponsors a student-run theatre called Tuesday Night Caf茅. Small scale performances, including drama, comedy, dance, and music, are held throughout the year in the Morrice Hall Theatre.

Tuesday Night Caf茅 is a learning experience for everyone. It is designed to provide an avenue of expression for students and faculty alike and offers an opportunity to gain production experience, to explore new dimensions in playwriting, acting, and directing without the pressures and complexities associated with the scale of a major production in Moyse Hall.

For further information about Tuesday Night Caf茅, its operation and student participation, you are invited to make contact with the T.N.C. executive at tnc.foh [at] gmail.com.

Option III - Cultural Studies (36 credits)

The Cultural Studies option concentrates on analysis of forms of cultural expression and symbolic interaction, and of the various media through which these may be disseminated and transformed. Such study concerns symbolic form, aesthetically-based forms of analysis, and the various modes of criticism and theory relevant to media which contain both verbal and non-verbal elements. The aim is above all to hone students' analytical and interpretive skills while introducing them to specific critical approaches to cultural studies. This is not a major in journalism or communications; and while many of our graduates go on to do creative work in a variety of media, instruction in film and video production is not part of the curriculum.

The Cultural Studies Major program is changing in 2011-2012. If you are new to this program in 2011-2012, or if you have yet to take ENGL 276 Methods of Cultural Analysis, you are no longer required to take ENGL 276, but will instead be required to take 3 credits from a list of theory-related courses at the 400-level.
