Any English course you are currently enrolled in (except ENG 104 or its equivalent) may be applied toward the minor in English, which may be taken with any major offered by this university. The minor in English provides a fleixible program of courses frequently taught.
Second, if you plan to pursue advanced study (for example, law scholl, medical school, or graduate business school), the English minor will complement your major and strengthen your credentials. Since writing is essential in postbaccalaureate work, your training as an English minor should serve you well.
The above are important practical benefits. There are others. As a college student, you learn more than a career, more than a way to make a living. You should learn as much as possible about yourself and the world in which you live. "Know yourself." the writers of antiquity admonished; "the unexamined life is not worth living." How does one acquire self-understanding? The study of literature--"the best that has been thought and said"--and the discipline of writing can provide you with the most stimulating, liberating, and valuable education of all.
The completed minor is acknowledged on your graduating transcript.
