The English minor provides students from other majors with a more intensive background in literature. Coursework in the minor exposes students to literature from a variety of periods, cultures and genres and also provides practice in critical thinking, literary analysis and writing. These courses enrich students' intellectual lives and provide them with skills that are valuable in a variety of professional situations.
Where a course required for the minor is already required for a student's major, the student is directed to choose another English elective. Other substitutions are permissible at the discretion of the Program Director.
