English majors and minors and English teaching majors and minors, in consultation with English department advisers, can select programs individually designed to satisfy academic requirements. Further, students preparing for careers in law, medicine, business, public relations and government service find departmental courses highly beneficial. In addition, the Department of English has designed several courses essential to the general student, including programs in writing, English as a Second Language and Developmental Reading and study skills. Students transferring to Weber State as English majors, with most of their junior and senior status completed, are required to take a minimum of 10 upper division credit hours, minors a minimum of 6 upper division credit hours. This requirement also applies to transfer graduate students.

Students with an ACT test score in English of 17 or above may register for English 111, College Writing. Students with ACT test scores of 16 or lower will be placed in English ND096; those with scores between 10-16 are eligible to take a placement test to determine whether their placement will be in English ND096 or English EN111. The eight hour English EN111 and EN112 requirement must be met by the time the student has accrued 90 credit hours at Weber State. Students transferring over 90 credit hours must fulfill this requirement within two quarters of enrolling at Weber State. Developmental English Developmental English is competency based.
