<p>Alright, I'm going to be transfering to another school and want to fulfil my American Literature requirement.</p>
<p>At the school I'm at now I got a course canceled because not enough people took it. So now I'm looking for another course and have found American Poetry, but this course isn't offered at the school I'm looking to transfer to. Do you think it would count towards that requirement if I took it? </p>
<p>I am kinda mad my course got canceled on me but what am I gonna do? Anyways, just curious what you guys think...</p>
<p>Oh, btw, I'm looking to transfer to SUNY Geneseo.</p>
<p>If you are trying to fulfill an American Literature requirement which is a "survey" course kind of deal, then taking a poetry course will not cut it. </p>
<p>However, if the University you are to transfer to does not specify that you must take a survey course, then taking a poetry course could be alright, but you would have to ask the head of the English Department of the University you are to transfer to if it would be alright.</p>
<p>What do you mean by "survey" course?</p>
<p>The only thing I know is that under the requirements for the english major is that it says "american literature" and that's it. Nothing else really. I think I should go and call the English Department, but gonna take the course regardless most likely. Plus I have Specific Genre and Contemporary to cover and this is Modern American Poetry... so maybe it will count as Contemporary? Or maybe Spec Genre. If not, it'll be an elective, whatever.</p>

<p>There are some Literature requirements which are like: "Survey of Early American Literature" and things like that. You know, a survey class is a class which covers a certain epoch of Literature and whatnot.</p>
<p>If you have questions about what it is exactly you should take, then you should do as you say and totally call or e mail the head of the English Department of the University you want to transfer to. </p>
<p>If your Specific Genre and Contemporary requirement is really open ended, then I would wager that Modern American Poetry would cover that requirement for sure.</p>
