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.

This requirement also applies to transfer graduate students.
