Students should declare their intention to minor in English to the registrar's office. Minors in English consist 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.
