This is a worksheet for Literary Studies majors concentrating in Literature and Critical Analysis. Lang students concentrating in Writing please find your worksheet at Lang's website; BPATS students interested in studying writing, please consult your core faculty advisor. Lang students intereted in journalism are encouraged to consider majoring in Journalism + Design.

As of fall 2020, students declaring the major in Literary Studies must take twelve (12) courses, outlined as follows.

Consult the Departmental Faculty Advisor if you are taking Writing workshops.) A minimum GPA of 3.0 is expected for all students intending to declare a major in Literary Studies (slightly lower GPAs can be accepted if the student receives an A in the Introductory course connected to their area, or both Introductory courses if the student is mixing and matching between areas).

Declare your major by following the process outlined in Declaring a Major. Students who have declared the major in Literary Studies prior to fall 2020 but wish to follow the fall 2020 curriculum may consult their Student Success Advisor about submitting a Change of Catalog Year request.
