English - Literature Emphasis (Minor)

Minors in English

Additional coursework in English will enrich any degree program. It represents a particular asset for students who plan to pursue graduate study and/ or careers in which critical thinking, reading, and writing skills are crucial (for example, law, communications, social services, government, etc.).

Depending on the student's chosen degree program, fulfillment of the course requirements for an English minor will be recorded on the graduate's transcript either as a Minor in English as a component of a B.A. degree and certain B.S. degrees. (Consult the Registrar for further information.) 

Note:  English minors are not intended for students already pursuing a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in English (any emphasis) or a Bachelor of Science in Education degree with the English content specialization.

Two minors in English are available.
