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.

Requirements

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.

Each English minor program must meet the following specific requirements beyond College Writing or waivers:

• ENG 245 (3 credits)
• Three 300-level literature courses (one must focus on a period before 1800 and one on a period after 1800) (9 credits)
• Electives to complete the 18 credits required for the minor
