The English minor is designed to offer students an opportunity to explore literature written in English (including translations from other languages). It’s easy to complete a minor in English. See also information about the Creative Writing Minor.
Step One:
Contact the Associate Chair or Program Assistant for assistance in registering for one of the two critical content courses: LIT 201/102 Approaches to Literature OR LIT 202/101 Cultures and Canons. LIT 200 Introduction to Poetry may replace LIT 101 or 102 as a required course in the English Minor. (While you are talking to the Associate Chair, fill out the form to add the minor.)
Step Two:
Choose any four courses with the prefixes LIT (literature), LNG (language/linguistics), or CWR (creative writing). A course cross-listed with any of these courses will count as well. By TCNJ policy, two of these four courses must be at the 300 level or above.
TCNJ policy states: Only one course unit, either required or elective, may be used to satisfy requirements for both a major field and any minor field. Three of the courses for a minor must be completed at TCNJ.
