A minor in English provides students with a sound introduction to the field of literary studies and also allows them to select a set of courses that accords with their individual interests. Prerequisites for the minor in English are the 6 credit university-wide general education requirement in literature. The minor requires 18 hours of upper-level coursework in the major beyond English 302. Students must take ENGL 325 (6 credits), either three courses in a concentration listed under the English major or three courses that satisfy the core requirements for the major (9 credits), and an elective (3 credits).
The minor must be approved by the English Department undergraduate advisor before graduation. Students must achieve a GPA of 2.000 in courses counting toward the English minor.
