English Minor
The Minor in English is a 21 credit-hour program that provides students majoring in other disciplines the opportunity to strengthen their reading and writing skills by taking courses in Literature, Creative Writing, and Rhetoric and Professional Writing.
The English minor is particularly helpful to students who are preparing for law school or other graduate programs. It is an excellent complement to any degree in the Humanities, Arts, Social Sciences, Communication Arts, Media and Design, and Business and Healthcare fields. Students can work closely with faculty in the different branches, thereby gaining publication and professional writing experience.
