NOTE: English minors may choose from any LIT, CRWR, or LING courses to count toward their elective category (note that there may be prerequisites for some courses), including courses that count toward general education requirements (e.g., LIT 110, LIT 230, or CRWR 240). All WRIT courses at the 200-level or above also count toward the English minor.

In addition, certain courses in other departments or with alternative rubrics (e.g., ENST 335, NASX 340, PHL 494, and FILM 324) may count with the approval of the chair. Certain courses (e.g., CRWR 410 or LIT 437) may be repeated for credit and counted toward the minor requirements with approval of the chair.

Certain courses in this program have prerequisites; students should check the course descriptions for required prerequisites.
