providing students with an edge in critical thinking and communication that will make them more marketable in the workplace. The minor in English provides students with a foundation in critical thinking skills through literary analysis, as well as opportunities to develop their writing skills. Students choosing an English minor have the flexibility to design their own program. Students can opt for a general exploration of courses in a variety of topics: literature, English education, linguistics, rhetoric and professional writing.
