Combined Majors with English
For students who wish to enrich their major with other disciplines, the Department of English offers seven combined programs. When a student declares the combined major, he or she will be assigned an advisor in each department. Each advisor will be responsible for advising the student on the selection of courses in the advisor's department. All combined majors include a capstone senior writing project.

The paper must be 20-30 pages long and will make significant use of primary and secondary sources, and will be conducted through independent study. Students should select a focus for the writing project no later than spring of the junior year, and will have two supervisors, one from the English department and one from the classical studies department. By the beginning of senior year, the student should designate one of the supervisors as the primary supervisor, and this supervisor will have primary responsibility for determining the student's grade on the writing project after considering an evaluation and a suggested grade supplied by the second supervisor. If there is sharp disagreement between the two supervisors over the final grade, the primary supervisor's departmental chairperson will appoint a third reader/grader, whose decision will break the deadlock between the first and second supervisors.
