Minor in English
The English Minor
The minimum number of credits (exclusive of the University’s Core curriculum) required for the English minor: 18. No more than a total of 6 credit hours can be earned at the 200-level.
The Department offers a minor in English that requires 18 credits of upper-level courses in a program planned with an English faculty advisor and approved by the English Department director of Advising. The goal of the minor is to give students not simply a collection of courses, but a coherent experience with English courses chosen to suit their needs and interests.
