New Curriculum!
The Department of English will launch a new curriculum in Fall 2010, but current majors can complete their program using the requirements in force when they declared their English major. Starting in January, we are offering special group advising sessions to help students figure out what courses will meet their current major requirements. If you attend one of these sessions, you will be able to sign up for priority advising should you need further consultation about your schedule for the next year.
The schedule is as follows:
Jan 26 5:30 (Tues), 011 Olds Hall, for General literary studies in English majors
Feb. 2 5:30 (Tues), 011 Olds Hall, Honors English majors
Feb. 3 6pm (Weds), 117 Berkey Hall, Creative Writing Concentrators

New Film Studies web site!
With new initiatives in a Film Studies minor and a Fiction Film Specialization, we decided it was a good time to develop a web site dedicated to Film Studies at MSU.
