Course Descriptions

The SPU English major allows a lot of freedom for students to choose their own courses, follow their own interests, and prepare for their own future plans — isn’t that great?

But all that freedom needs some good information, too, so the right choices can be made. Click on the quarter and course name below and you’ll find a world of information to help you create your future schedule.

But don’t forget your faculty advisors, too! We are here to help answer questions and craft a course plan. Contact us whenever you’d like some guidance.
