Distribution Courses in Literature or Creative Writing

FDR HL or HA

Most courses numbered above 201 in English fulfill either FDR HA or HL. You can find courses to fulfill both HA and HL in other departments, as well.

Once you have fulfilled FDR FW with WRIT 100 or an appropriate score, you may move on to HL and HA courses.  The 200-level is the introductory level in English for both creative writing and literature. These courses typically do not require instructor consent, but they are popular and fill up rapidly.  If you are having a hard time getting into a 200-level English course and you plan on either a Creative Writing minor or an English maor, please contact the chair of English for assistance.

The English department normally offers both creative writing and literature courses at the 200-level in the Spring Term.
