Grant is the money to pay for living expenses – food and accommodation. Students at universities are called undergraduates while they are studying for their first degree.

Josh: You seem to know your way around campus. Have you been here long?

Ellen: I am a senior literature major. I will be graduating next June.

Josh: Your major is literature? Mine is too! But I’m just beginning my work in my major. You see, I just transferred to this university from junior college.

Ellen: Well, that’s great. Can I help you?

Josh: Perhaps you could tell me about the courses you’ve got to take for a literature major?

Ellen: Well, for a literature major you need to take eight courses, three required courses and five electives. First, you have to take “Survey of World Literature, Parts One and Two”. This is really two courses, and it’ll take two semesters and it’s required for all literature majors. The other course required for all literature majors is “Introduction into Literary Analysis”

Josh: You mean, if I want to specialize in American literature, I still must take two semesters of World Literature?

Ellen: Yes, because the two semesters are required for all literature majors.

Josh: But I only want to study American literature!

Ellen: At least you can take all of your five elective courses in the area that you want.

Josh: That’s what I’ll do then.
