HOME Minors English Minor

English Minor

The English Minor provides students with a course of study that focuses on how to read and write critically – that is, analyze, historicize, and politicize literary and cultural texts. Understanding the complexities of texts and their influence in a variety of forms, media, time periods and cultural contexts adds depth and breadth to students' program of study and enhances their career possibilities.

The English Minor is administered and delivered by the Department of English.
