Graduate Courses
Graduate courses in English are typically run as small seminars, and are often designed to provide both a degree of coverage and an intensive immersion in a particular problem, historical field, author's work, or genre. Nearly all are reserved for graduate students, though a few courses are routinely offered as small, mixed grad/undergrad seminars (for instance, Old English, Middle English, and Beowulf, as well as several courses taken primarily by students specializing in Applied English Linguistics). Many graduate courses will reflect, in topic and in approach, the graduate faculty member's most current research interests; many seek to help students devise research projects that lead or contribute to their dissertation.
Courses numbered under 700, are open to both undergraduate and graduate level students. Courses numbered 700 and above are open only to graduate students. "P" indicates prerequisites.
