Requirements for the English Minor (Fall 2006)

The minor consists of the following courses:

1. ENG 320, Introduction to English Studies. This course is foundational and should be taken in the student’s first or second semester of upper-division English course work.

2. Single Author course (440 Alpha Single Author; 442 Chaucer; 445 Shakespeare; or 447 Milton)

3. 300-level ENG elective

4. 400-level ENG elective

5. 300 or 400-level ENG elective.

The English Department has a policy of mandatory advising. This means that at least twice a year, just before the Fall and Spring registration periods, all minors must consult their assigned advisor. A hold will be placed on the registration of those who fail to see their advisor. The Department mandates these close links between faculty and minors to ensure that students make progress toward their degrees in as timely and as well-informed a manner as possible. Advisors usually have no more than ten students assigned to them, so they get to know their advisees well.
