English Studies Literature Minor

The minor in Literature offers courses that examine literature from various cultures. Core courses in American, British, or World literature form a basis for the literature program, but students also have the opportunity to study literature in translation, ancient to contemporary, from every corner of the globe.

One course must have a Global Diversity (GDA) or Global Diversity Non-Western (GDAN) designation.
