Minor in Literature in English
Literature in English Minor — 15 units
The Literature in English minor allows students from any major to explore literature from British, American, and other global traditions in English. For this minor, students pursue a streamlined version of the English major core requirements, supplemented by two elective courses in literary topics of their choice. Literature minors can expect to hone their aptitude for close reading, writing, research, oral communication, and critical thinking. Developing these skills can prove beneficial to students with regard to their major coursework, and to their lives after graduation.
