will not offer any new sub-concen-
trations.
The new system will divide
course offerings into three major
areas of study: cultural and geo-
graphical frameworks, historical
literature and analytical frame-
works.
Parrish said dividing the cours-
es into specializations would also
make it easier for students to pick
their classes and for administra-
tors to ensure that a variety of
classes in each area are offered
each term.
LSA senior Lorena Disha, fund-
raising chair of the Undergraduate
English Association, said she is
excited about the new changes and
is sorry that she won't be around
to enjoy their benefits.
"I'm a little bummed that they
brought it out after I left," said
Disha, who plans to graduate in
April.
Disha said she thought the new
system would benefit English
majors because, unlike creative
writing or Honors students, who
are required to submit a thesis or
portfolio, students in the general
program are more likely to enroll
in courses with a less-specific
focus.
LSA junior Keith Ingersoll, an
English major, said that he was
concerned the new system might
curtail the freedom he enjoys
when choosing classes.
"I guess I'm a fan of more broad
than more specialized because
it's important to get a little bit of
everything," he said.
English Prof. Keith Taylor, the
director of the Undergraduate
Creative Writing Program, said
students like Ingersoll shouldn't
worry.
"It's my sense that people
are still going to be able to shop
around," Taylor said, "No one's
going to be confined to those
things."
Parrish said the new system
would change several English
department course numbers,
including the two prerequisite
courses - "What is Literature?"
and "Introduction to Poetry" -
from 239 and 240 to 297 and 298 to
better reflect the difficulties and
Friday, April 4, 2008 - 7
topics of the classes. The course
number changes were implement-
ed to indicate that those courses
are for prospective English majors
who intend to take 300 and 400
level courses.
The department willalsoexpand
the New Traditions requirement,
which previously focused on the
experiences of women and minori-
ty ethnic groups, to include classes
that discuss disability and sexual-
ity issues.
