Does literature count for english requirement?

[hphan]

Some PA schools require some units of english. However, it is not very well-defined in their websites what actually counts as english. Would a literature class count? Or any other classes I could take to fulfill a writing requirement for graduating? For example, there is a class at my university called "scandinavian literature" and it is considered a writing class, but it isn't under the english department so I am unsure about it.
