The Director of Undergraduate Studies (DUS) and the Associate Director of Undergraduate studies (ADUS) work together to advise students about every aspect of studying English in Yale College. Throughout the year they hold meetings on subjects such as choosing introductory English courses, becoming an English major, applying to graduate school, and career paths for English majors after Yale. They work with the English Student Advisory Committee on academic questions related to the major, as well as planning for social events such as the annual Halloween and Valentine’s Day Readings.
In the fall, there will be an information session regarding Engish Introductory Course placement on Monday, August 12, 1:30-2:30 PM, at which course directors, the DUS, and the ADUS will be present to answer any questions. Log in here to join the meeting via Zoom. New students who participate in Preference Selection for ENGL 114/115 may return to the site and revise their choices before Monday, August 12 at 5:00 PM. There will be no Preference Selection for spring ENGL course enrollment.
