GUIDELINES:

Courses to be counted toward the M.F.A. degree must be at the 7000 level, with the following

exceptions:

*4000-level courses in linguistics and Old English. These are the ONLY 4000-level

English classes for which English graduate students can receive graduate credit.

*4000-level related courses in other departments (max. 9 hours) that are designated as

providing graduate credit. Be SURE to check with Ashley Thibodaux (the English

Graduate Program Administrator) to see if the university mainframe computer indicates

that graduate credit can be given. Please offer verification to the DGS or the Director of

Creative Writing that this course requires graduate students to do significantly more work

than undergraduates. The Graduate School does not permit courses to be offered for

graduate credit in the summer unless the same course provides graduate credit during

regular semesters.

NOTE: You are always welcome to audit a 4000-level course that interests you, with the

permission of the professor. Audited courses do not count in your required nine hours per
