[Englishstudents] English Honors Program
by English 12 May '20

12 May '20

Dear English Students, The English Honors Program hosts a conference every year showcasing the work English honors students complete in the program. It is my great pleasure to share this virtual conference with you here<http://virtualhonors.qwriting.qc.cuny.edu/>. The program is a wonderful collegiate experience that provides graduate level expertise in literary studies. One of the perks of the program for those registered in the Accelerated Master’s Program (or those that intend to register) is that the 6 credits of ENGL 399W will count as graduate credits for the MA. What’s more, you can still take another 6 credits of graduate courses as an English undergraduate which will count toward your undergraduate major and which are also transfer credits for the MA, leaving you with 12 usable credits for your MA and BA degrees. If you are interested in the program please email me at natalie.leger(a)qc.cuny.edu<mailto:natalie.leger@qc.cuny.edu>. Bests, NML -- Natalie M. Léger Assistant Professor of English Chair of the English Honors Program Queens College, CUNY 718-997-4621 Schedule office hours AND/OR honors apt here: https://nml.youcanbook.me

[Englishstudents] English Honors Program
by English 07 May '20

07 May '20

The English Honors Program is accepting applicants for the next academic year. The yearlong program (fall and spring semester) is an incredibly formative experience that introduces students to graduate level writing and reading practices while nourishing a collective class atmosphere. For more on the program from this year’s honors student, please see this QC Voices<http://qcvoices.qwriting.qc.cuny.edu/along0803/2020/05/05/prospective-engli…> article. For students thinking about going on to the MA in English, the Honors program is a great way to get credit for MA course work while still an undergraduate. All six credits of 399 senior seminar work as an Honors student will count toward your undergrad major and as transfer credit toward the MA. If you are interested in the program and qualify (overall GPA of 3.3), contact the program director, Professor Léger at natalie.leger(a)qc.cuny.edu<mailto:natalie.leger@qc.cuny.edu>. Professor Léger will answer any questions you may have. English Department
