Literature and Writing Minor

Irreducible to the quantitative and data-driven forms of knowledge that are dominant today, literary knowledge enables students to articulate new ideas and questions about the world around them. The Literature and Writing Minor enables students of all majors to build a knowledge and skill base in both the study of literature and the practice of writing, choosing 5 courses (or a total of 15 credits) from a broad range that includes literature, writing, and theory/criticism courses. Writing majors who wish to enroll will simply substitute literature and/or theory/criticism courses for the writing component of the minor. The minor may be declared at any time; courses already taken can be counted.
