Students wishing to minor in English must complete six courses, including ENGLISH 200 Intensive Literary Studies Seminar for Intended Majors; one course in British literature; one course in American literature;  one course in global Anglophone or ethnic American literature, culture or rhetorics at a 200- or higher level, and two upper-level departmental electives, one of which must be at a 200- or higher level and the other of which must be at a 300- or higher level.

Of these six courses for the minor, no more than two may be transfer or inter-departmental courses, and those courses must be pre-approved at the English Undergraduate Office. Courses with a grade below C will not be accepted toward the minor.
