Minor in English
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.
