  • First-Year English: English 1310 and 1320 are prerequisites to all other English courses.

    Minors who earn at least a B in their first sophomore course have the option to enroll in an advanced literature course in place of the second sophomore course. No more than 6 hours of sophomore literature count toward the minor.
  • Four Advanced Courses: At least two different groups must be represented on the student's degree outline.
