English Literature Minor

Return to: Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences

An undergraduate minor in English literature would help students in a variety of majors to represent significant expertise they have accrued in this field on their transcripts. The structure of the minor will also help direct students with a significant interest in English literature to sequences and sets of courses that are designed to develop their interest; they can take a mini-curriculum rather than just a smattering of electives. A minor in English literature is a desirable supplement to many degrees across the Dietrich School because it provides insights into cultural traditions and practices, develops students’ abilities to write analytic arguments, and promotes critical thinking.
