SWAGÊÓƵ the Minor in English
Our Minor in English is a great complement to a major in a science, social science, or professional field. With just two required courses, it is our least restrictive program and invites students who enjoy reading, discussion, and writing to deepen their understanding of literature and writing without delaying progress toward degree completion.
