Department of English

During the August orientation, new transfer students meet with departmental advisers. At that time and in subsequent meetings, students have the opportunity to discuss their individual programs.

Transfer students will need to arrange with their Deans' office in order to have English courses from other institutions counted towards their General Education Requirements in English.

In order to have English courses from other institutions count towards the English Major or Minor, the student must have these courses approved by the English Department.

Transfer credits from other institutions in the United States are evaluated by the Director of Undergraduate Studies, Professor Dennis Todd. Students should meet with Professor Todd and bring all relevant course materials (including course descriptions and syllabi) so that the director can determine whether a given course is comparable in subject matter and work load to courses offered at Georgetown.

Transfer credits from foreign institutions, including those attended through study abroad programs, are evaluated by our study abroad advisers.
