Minors are available in English or journalism.
In addition to the core courses required of all students, the English department offers a number of specialized courses. Classes are small enough for the professor to help you develop your individuality. Courses are designed to blend critical and creative applications. If writing is your interest, courses are available in newswriting, creative writing, and writing for publication. Upper level American literature classes focus upon major genres.
