Undergraduate Advising

English Minor

Any undergraduate student on campus can declare a minor in English. Some courses such as Engl 209, 210, 255, and 301 are restricted to majors but allowed for minors. For restricted courses, call the office for an override before you register. Engl 301 is only offered to minors after completing Engl 200 and two other 200-level British and American literature courses.
