The English department offers both traditional and contemporary approaches to the study of literary and nonliterary texts including, but not limited to, imaginative fiction, nonfiction, poetry, visual culture, and new media. This minor allows students to pursue a course of study specifically tailored to individual interests and needs. Those who select this minor will work closely with a faculty adviser to design a five- to six-course grouping based on interests in particular authors, themes, histories, genres, geographies, media, and/or interpretive and analytical methodologies. All of the courses are writing intensive and offer opportunities for sustained writing and communication practice.
