The English Minor

The minimum number of credits (exclusive of the University's Core curriculum) required for the English Minor: 18. No more than a total of 6 credit hours can be earned at the 200-level.

The Department offers a minor in English that requires 18 credits of upper-level courses in a Program planned with an English faculty advisor and approved by the English Department Coordinator of Advising. Lisa Walker, Coordinator of Advising and Associate Professor of English can be contacted by telephone at 780-4311 or e-mail at: lwalker@usm.maine.edu . Prof. Walker's office is in Luther Bonney Hall (Portland Campus) on the 3rd floor room 316.

The goal of the minor is to give students not simply a collection of courses, but a coherent experience with English courses chosen to suit their needs and interests.

Each English minor program must meet the following specific requirements beyond ENG 100C/101C and ENG 120H/W (or waivers):

I.      ENG 245W (3 credits)

II.    Three 300-level literature courses (one must focus on a period before 1800 and one on a period after 1800) (9 credits)

III.   Electives to complete the 18 credits required for the minor

 

Further information about the English minor is available from the English Department.
