English Minor

Students who minor in English or Folklore must complete at least 15 hours of course work in English or Folklore, and the minimum for those interested in teaching middle school is 18 hours. Regardless of concentration, 12 hours applied to the minor must be at the 3000 level or above, and some of these upper-division courses might also require students to take prerequisites. Students taking more than 15 hours in courses in English may count the additional hours toward their electives or may consider completing a double major. See above under “Teacher Certification” for an English minor in preparation to teach middle school. (A grade of C or higher is required in all courses counting toward the minor.)
