<p>What do English majors at Yale have to/are recommended to take?</p>
<p>The major has a prereq that involves studying major poets in the English language (which can be filled in a few ways, but you’re not going to get away from Wordsworth). Then I think you need 3 courses in lit before 1800, one in lit before 1900, and one in American lit. Then there are seminar/senior essay requirements. All of this is easily accessible on the internet, btw.</p>
