First-Year Honors Sequence
The First-Year Honors sequence begins with English 118: an accelerated, one-semester course covering the material in English 101 and 102. In order to take English 118, your SAT or ACT scores must meet the following criteria:
- Equal to or above 650 verbal and 1250 composite on the SAT;
- Equal to or above 28 English and 28 composite on the ACT.
If you were not placed in English 118 and feel that you should have been, you can contact Dr. Mary Jo Reiff, the Director of First-Year Composition, in 311 McClung Tower; (865) 974-5401.
If you receive a B or better in English 118, you may complete your First-Year Composition requirement by taking either a sophomore-level literature course or English 355: "Rhetoric and Writing."
If you receive lower than a B in English 118, you will complete your First-Year Composition requirement by taking English 102.
