Summer 2024 Courses for Literature Major Requirements

Literature undergraduate majors:

Check your degree audit to see what major requirements you have left unfulfilled.
Identify any priorities, such as requirements with fewer course options (more specificity) than others.
Find the matching requirements under your major below to find the applicable offerings for the year.
If you have multiple options to choose from, check out the course description links below to see more course details and decide on your preferences.
Register as soon as possible and have back-up courses ready (in case your first choice fills before you can secure a seat).

If you want any help with course planning, reach out to our advisors via the VAC. You may message us your questions or request an advising appointment.

Note:

Only the courses below will fulfill these requirements for this Summer Session. Petitions for alternate course options will typically only be considered if there are clearly defined and unavoidable schedule conflicts with an offering (and no additional offerings prior to your planned quarter of graduation). No petitions are guaranteed to be approved, so it is your responsibility to plan your courses accordingly.

If any of the courses below do not automatically apply to these requirements on your degree audit, please send us a message in the VAC. We will manually correct your degree audit. There is no need to submit a petition.
