If you decide to study away, you should be sure, when planning your courses, to keep these two departmental policies in mind:
The level and period requirements for the major should be fulfilled with courses from Amherst College English Department offerings.
No more than two English-related courses outside the department may be counted towards the overall major requirement of 10 classes.
It is recommeneded to consult your English Advisor to make a plan for fufilling your requirements before studying away.
