English Minor (20 credits)

English 213 plus four English electives chosen from courses numbered 104 or above. At least three of these four electives must be at the upper-level (numbered 300 or above). English courses fulfilling the core humanities and literature requirements may double-count in the minor.  With departmental approval, selected seminars for freshmen may also double-count in the minor. (In some circumstances, an upper-level course from Group 3 of the major Requirements – Literary History I (Medieval to Renaissance) – may be substituted for ENG 213.)

The Creative Writing Minor (20 credits)

This minor is intended for students who are not majoring in English.

Students who are majoring in disciplines other than English may elect to minor in creative writing. The minor in creative writing requires the student to take at least three creative writing workshops. The minor also requires that the student take one literature course from Group II Genres and Backgrounds and also one other upper-division (300-level or above) literature course.

The phrase “creative writing workshops” refers specifically to those prose and poetry workshops designed and implemented by the English department.
