  • Students in second year or above who do not already hold credit for English 205 may use English 311 as an alternative Shakespeare Course in the Foundation Program.
  • Up to one full-course equivalent selected from the following list may be counted towards the major field: Drama 371, 471, 572* (when the topic is appropriate); Linguistics 321, 435.
  • Students must choose their courses carefully at the 200 and 300 level to ensure that they have the prerequisites for entry to the 400 and 500 level courses.
  • In exceptional circumstances, other courses may be accepted by the Department in lieu of part or all of the Foundation Program, particularly in the case of students transferring from other institutions.
  • With Department consent, students transferring from other institutions may satisfy part or all of the Historical course requirements with transfer courses focusing on the appropriate periods. Students must supply detailed course outlines for each proposed transfer course, in order for such equivalency to be considered.
