Requirements: Minimum of 30 credits at the intermediate or advanced level, for a total of 10 courses. Students must also complete five courses (see below) in the field of language and linguistics.
Honors Degree in English
Description: Honors in the Major provides English majors with the opportunity to do independent work on a question or topic about which they are curious and passionate. It allows the student to work closely with a faculty advisor to explore ideas culminating in a piece of scholarly research or creative work that moves beyond the scope of usual English coursework assignments.
Why Do It? Why not? Honors is for anyone who wants a more intense and rewarding research and writing experience. It can be very helpful to those interested in pursuing graduate study, but Honors is for anyone who simply wants to be able to demonstrate their ability to work independently, their enthusiasm for intellectual growth, and their interest and ability in writing.
How to Do It? First, students wishing to complete Honors in the Department of English should set up an appointment with the English Undergraduate Advisor .
The Undergraduate Advisor will discuss the application process with you, will help you craft a personal plan to complete the honors curriculum, and will facilitate securing a Professor to be your faculty advisor. We suggest that, if possible, students begin the honors curriculum in their sophomore year.
Honors in the Major Requirements:
- Declare the English major, and complete all Standard English Major Requirements before graduation. Honors in the Major students have to fulfill English Major requirements, though some English Major required courses may also count for Honors (see below).
- Maintain a 3.5 GPA in English courses.
- Maintain a 3.3 GPA in all University coursework.
- Take at least 12 credits in English for honors credit. This will include a one-semester Honors Project OR a two-semester Honors Thesis under the supervision of a faculty advisor.
What Counts as an Honors in the Major Course?
- ENGL 680: The single semester independent study with your faculty advisor for an Honors project counts as one Honors course.
- ENGL 681 and 682: The two semesters of independent study with your faculty advisor for the Honors Thesis count as two Honors courses.
- Some classes are already listed as Honors or Honors-option in your student center.
- Other classes may be taken for Honors if you receive permission in advance from your professor, which may involve some extra work for the course.
- Study abroad courses may be taken for Honors. Consult with the Undergraduate Advisor to set up the necessary paperwork.
- If you are not sure if you can take a class for Honors, or if you are looking for a course to fulfill this requirement, ask the Undergraduate Advisor .
What Is Required for an Honors Project or Thesis?
- Content: The content of the independent work you pursue in Honors can differ. Projects and theses can involve traditional literary scholarship, more involved or lengthy works of creative writing, or work in linguistics or other areas pertinent to the major that require quantitative components.
- Work with your faculty advisor: No matter what kind of project you choose, you must do so under the supervision of a faculty advisor, with whom you will sign up for a one or two semester Honors independent study. If you are having trouble finding a faculty advisor, ask the Undergraduate Advisor for help.
- Honors Project: you will sign up for ENGL 680 with your faculty advisor and will produce a substantial project by the end of that semester.
- Honors Thesis: The Honors Thesis (ENGL 681 and ENGL 682) is a lengthier project requiring more time to prepare and execute that will take two semesters of independent study with the faculty advisor to complete.
TESOL Certificate
Description: A Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) is available to undergraduate students who wish to teach English as a foreign or second language, normally in positions abroad.
Requirements: The student must: complete a 21-credit program of prescribed upper-division courses, including a practicum, with a minimum GPA of 3.0; (if a native speaker of English) have satisfactorily completed at least four college-level terms (or the equivalent) of a modern foreign language, including its spoken form; and demonstrate the ability to speak and write English at a level commensurate with the role of language model. ( Course listings and information here. )
This certificate records a course of study at UW-Madison; it is not necessarily equivalent to professional certification by other bodies, such as the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction.

English-100 (Communications-A) Program
English 100 is an introduction to college composition that helps students prepare for the demands of writing at UW-Madison and also helps them think about writing beyond the classroom. The course satisfies the Communication A general education requirement for undergraduates.
Students in English 100 build rhetorical awareness in both written and oral communication. Assignments engage questions of audience, purpose, genre, discourse conventions, and research methods. Students use narrative strategies to explore abstract concepts; summarize and synthesize information; engage in conversations with the ideas of others; and construct arguments through original research. The course views writing as an act of inquiry, a means of communication, and a process. With this in mind, instructors emphasize drafting, revising, and editing as critical practices.
Instructors for English 100 are part of a dynamic intellectual community, centered in the English department. In this community you will find doctoral students in literary studies, composition and rhetoric, English Language and Linguistics, and Interdisciplinary Theatre Studies, as well as Creative Writing MFA students. Additionally, instructional staff often includes experienced doctoral students from the School of Education, Linguistics, and other areas of the university.
English-201 (Communications-B) Program
English 201 is a 3-credit, intermediate level, general education writing course that satisfies the university’s Communications B requirement for enhancing students’ literacy skills. Enrollment in English 201 assumes that a student has successfully completed or been exempted from the “Communication A” requirement.
English 201 is a low-enrollment course that depends on student participation, so each section is capped at 19 students. It is designed to develop skills in the four modes of literacy: reading, writing, speaking, and listening. This course places special attention on writing, requiring numerous assignments of multiple pages, each developed through extensive planning, drafting, revising, and editing. Most classes employ a workshop approach, meaning that students work in peer writing groups, reading and commenting on one another’s work in constructive ways that are taught to students early in the semester.
The Greater Madison Writing Project (GMWP)
The Greater Madison Writing Project (GMWP) at University of Wisconsin – Madison (UW) is an affiliate of National Writing Project (NWP) network, a nationally acclaimed professional learning community that puts educators’ knowledge, experience and voices at its center. GMWP offers both professional development for educators as well as enrichment opportunities for children and young adult writers. The Greater Madison Writing Project was founded as a joint effort at between the College of Letters & Science and the School of Education and is now a member of the Center for the Teaching and Research on Writing in the UW-Madison English Department .

 The program in creative writing also offers doctoral students at the University of Wisconsin–Madison the chance to incorporate creative writing as part of their course of studies in the form of a minor in creative writing. All Graduate School students must utilize the Graduate Student Portal in MyUW to add, change, or discontinue any doctoral minor. To apply to this minor, log in to MyUW, click on Graduate Student Portal, and then click on Add/Change Programs. Select the information for the doctoral minor for which you are applying. Students are encouraged to consult a member of the Creative Writing Program faculty prior to applying to the minor and choosing a workshop. Students applying for the minor must have completed or be currently enrolled in an advanced-level undergraduate or graduate creative writing workshop (the "prerequisite workshop"). Students must submit a writing sample and personal statement (up to two pages, single-spaced) addressing the minor's relevance to their current or future research and career plans to the MFA director. Admission is determined by a committee composed of Creative Writing Program faculty. Admission is based on the quality of the writing sample, performance in the prerequisite workshop, and personal statement. Prerequisite WorkshopAdmission to individual workshops is not guaranteed for any student, but is based on evaluation of a writing sample that must be submitted to the instructor by November 1 for spring semester workshops and by April 1 for fall semester workshops.
