FIRST-YEAR ENGLISH AT UBC VANCOUVER
First Year Writing for Arts Students
Students in the Faculty of Arts may choose to meet the first three credits of the Research and Writing Requirement with one of
- ENGL 100 (Reading and Writing about Literature)
- ASTU 150 (Arts Studies in Writing)
- Arts One Program
- Coordinated Arts Program (CAP)
For students considering pursuing a major, minor or Honours degree in English at UBC, we recommend English 100, though, of course, students who take ASTU 150, the Coordinated Arts Program (CAP) or Arts One are also eligible and welcome to apply for an English Major, Minor, or Honours program.
All students who intend to take a First-Year English course must meet the LPI Requirement or be exempted. |
If you intend to enter the Majors, Minors or Honours Program in English, you must complete one of English 110, 111 or 120 (see note) in addition to the three credits of writing in order to be eligible for studies in Second-Year English.
NOTE: If you successfully complete Arts One or the Coordinated Arts Program*, you will have completed the six-credits of First Year English studies necessary to take 200-level English.
