The English Minor

The English minor consists of 24 credits. At graduation, English minors must have a GPA of at least 2.0 in the minor. The calculation is based on the grades of all courses presented for the minor. Only the most recent grade is considered for courses that have been repeated. All courses presented for the minor must be taken on the letter-grade basis. Under exceptional circumstances, one course taken Credit/No Credit may be presented for the minor with permission of the Chair of the department. Typically, this exception is made when a student has taken a 100-level English course before declaring the English minor. A maximum of 4 transfer credits may be counted toward the minor requirements.   

Requirements:


  • One course (4 credit hours) from courses numbered ENGL 110 through ENGL 118

Three Other Electives in English (12 credits):


One elective must be at the 300-level or above, another must be either a 400-level course or a junior seminar. FSENG 201  does not count.
