The perfect complement to any major
Many students who major in disciplines other than English but who share a love and respect for language and literature pursue the academic minor in English. This versatile and popular program encourages students to draw from the department's range of resources in writing, literature, film, and theater, tailoring a program to their special interests. For example, students primarily interested in developing their potential to write well might choose a minor consisting of advanced composition, professional and technical writing, creative writing, and a course emphasizing the critical analysis of literature. Students who enjoy literature, film, or theater can find ample opportunities among the department's regular offerings to develop competencies in these areas. For the English minor, the student must complete, with a grade of “C” or better, six courses: EN201, EN202, and four additional English courses numbered above EN202.
