* One course beyond MA 100, or achieving a score of 3, 4, or 5 on the Advanced Placement calculus test. Students who do not achieve a math SAT score of 440 will complete MA 100 prior to a higher-level math course. MA 100 may be waived by passing a competency exam prepared by the Math department.
Note: Your course of study is determined by the "track" you choose—education, publishing, scholarly, teaching, or professional. You and your academic advisor tailor your curriculum to provide the best course of study for your career plans.
English Major Curriculum: Three Years
If you are thinking about graduate school, want to start your career more quickly, or want to save precious tuition dollars, then you should consider a three-year major. Many majors at Regis College are designed to meet these needs while providing you with flexible scheduling options so that you may fully enjoy your college experience.
While pursuing a three-year degree, you will have the option to participate in the Honors Program, learn in hybrid-online courses, have "real-world" experiences in academic internships, and enjoy a host of extra-curricular options at Regis College.
Eligibility
The Degree in 3 is a challenging program for strong students. Admitted candidates typically have a recalculated high school GPA of at least 3.4 and a combined score of at least 1100 on the Math and Critical Reading sections of the SAT. The SAT Writing section may also be reviewed.
Promising students not meeting these criteria are still encouraged to apply and will be given careful consideration on an individual basis. Once admitted to the program, a student must maintain a 3.0 GPA.
The following is a sample three-year curriculum schedule for the English major.
