minor: Literature
2023-2024
Minor: Literature (15 credits)
The literature minor is for students who wish to increase their knowledge of important authors, texts, and contexts. Students with aspirations toward fully understanding and appreciating the English-language literary tradition from its origins to the present will be well served by this minor, as will students who wish to develop critical reading and writing abilities necessary for graduate study of literature as well as law, business, and other fields in which a clear comprehension of complex rhetoric and communication is essential. The Literature minor will be especially attractive to English majors, majors in other overlapping areas in the humanities such as History and Philosophy, and all students with interdisciplinary interests that include literature.
For English Major students: Courses used in the English major may not be used to satisfy requirements for the Literature minor.
