General Education English Sequence
As a part of requirements in General Education, all students must demonstrate competency in English. This is done by successful completion of the following course sequence:
ENGL 1113 Composition I
ENGL 1213 Composition II OR ENGL 2213 Research & Argumentation
ENGL 2413 Introduction to Literature
Initial course placement is based on a student’s incoming English ACT score, so some students may require preparatory work prior to placement in the above sequence. The student is required to pass each course before enrolling in a subsequent course. Advanced standing credit (AP or CLEP) may be used to fulfill these requirements but must be completed before subsequent course work is taken.
Students Speaking English as A Second Language
Those who score below 550 on the TOEFL must pass English Language and Culture I and II (ENGL 0024 and 0034), Modern English Usage (ENGL 0103), and then enter the above sequence of courses, enrolling in Composition I (ENGL 1113), with Lab.
