Students should declare their intention to minor in English to the
department in writing. The minor in English consists of at least 18
appropriate credits (exclusive of 50:350:101-102) taught in the English
department. All courses must be at the 200 level or above and at least
6 credits of the minor must be in courses at the 300 to 400 level.
English majors may earn certification for a specific minor field within
the English department by completing 18 credits in that field. As
many as 6 credits may be counted toward both an English major and one
specific English minor- in which case only 12 additional credits need
be earned for that minor-but a second specific minor requires at least
18 new credits.
