The courses must be taken in order. The student should keep the manual for the first course for use with all subsequent courses.

As with most SFA courses, ten weeks is allowed for each course, and extensions may be granted if requested.

CSTL101 - BASIC LITERATURE TERMINOLOGY
The student will complete the Basic Literary Terminology (BLT) course. This is a pre-requisite for all other degree programs.

CSTL201- BOOK REVIEW
Students will read a Star Trek novel and write an analysis of the work, based on the terms learned in the first course.

CSTL301- MEDIA REVIEW
Students will write a comparison/contrast paper examining a work that has been both an episode or movie AND a book. Again, students will use the terms previously learned.

CSTL401 - CHARACTER STUDY
Students will choose to write either a character study or an author study. For the character study, students will closely examine a main (or major supporting) character from TOS, TNG, DS9, or VOY (ENT will be added soon), and will need to examine that character in both episodes/movies and books. For the author study, students will choose one author and examine a minimum of three Star Trek books by that author. Again, students will use the terms previously learned.

SOURCE MATERIALS NEEDED:
The only materials absolutely needed for the first course are the course manual provided upon course registation, and a working knowledge of several Star Trek episodes and movies. Subsequent courses will require the student to read one or more Star Trek novels/novelizations of the student's choice.
