Literature and Creative Writing

Students earning a score of 4 or 5 on either or both of the AP examinations in Literature and/or Language may place directly into one of two 200-level courses in LIT 204W or 222W.

Students earning a score of 5 on the AP exam will receive 1 credit toward general graduation requirements upon completion of a 100-level or 200-level writing-intensive course in the Literature Department during their first two years at Hamilton with a minimum grade of B- (in addition to the credit earned for the course).

Students whose AP scores have allowed them to move directly into a 200-level literature course must take LIT 204 before they can enroll in CRWR 215.

Students can only receive a total of one unit of credit from either the AP English Language and Composition or AP English Literature and Composition. This credit will not count toward the concentration.
