Minor in English Language and Literacy

Completion of the English Language and Literacy Minor will increase the employability of graduates by supporting their language learning and advancing their acquisition of verbal (speaking and listening) and textual (reading and writing) literacy in English in ways that complement any major degree. The Minor will provide a rigorous, university-level forum for students who wish to develop higher-level English skills for personal or employment purposes, but who do not wish to follow specialized courses in English Literature, Translation or Linguistics. However, the Minor will complement and enhance those and other majors in its emphasis on facility in language in preparation for professional life.
