Minor in English
An English minor complements any program of study because it emphasizes reading, writing, and critical thinking. It marks you as a strong communicator-the number one quality employers in every field look for.
The minor requires 21 credit hours of courses (the sequence is not prescribed). Choose courses that meet your needs and interests. ENG 125, 126, and 327 can count toward both the minor and general education requirements, depending on what other general education courses you have taken.
Choose seven courses.
