Requirements
A minor in English requires a minimum of 20 hours. Students must take one course from each of the course pairings below. Students should avoid taking both ENGL 111 and ENGL 215, or both ENGL 115 and ENGL 225/226, as there is a big overlap between each of these course pairings. Additional courses are at the student's discretion; however, if a student has not taken either ENG 215 or ENGL 225/226, one of the remaining courses must be a course in English literature. ENGW 103 and ENG 104 do not count toward a minor.
