Literature and Writing Studies Minor

Program of Study

Students in many vocational fields often find that special skills in reading or analysis, as well as writing, are useful in their future work. The minor is intended to develop those skills. It consists of three (3) units of lower, preparatory coursework and twelve (12) units of upper-division coursework. Courses taken for Credit/No Credit grading may not apply to the minor. All courses counted toward the minor must be completed with a grade of C (2.0) or better.
