English Minor

Students wishing to declare a minor in English should consult with the chair for specific program planning. The minor includes six courses in one of two areas of concentration:

Literature: Six courses, including:

• EN 110 ;
• one course from “Forms of Language and Literature”;
• one course from “Language and Literature in Context”;
• three courses from “Advanced Courses in Language and Literature.”

Note: The English Department allows no more than 12 credits and no more than two 300-level courses earned through study abroad or other institutions to count toward the minor. EN 371 can only count 1 time toward the Advanced Language and Literature requirement.

Creative Writing: Six courses, including:

• two courses from the Forms of Language and Literature category;
• EN 280
   , EN 281 , EN 282  or 
  EN 251
   ;
• one additional course (which could be EN 110 , a 200- or 300-level literature course, or another 200-level workshop);
• and two 300-level creative writing workshops, open with regard to genre.

   

Students wishing to complete a minor in English should file a Declaration of Minor with the Registrar before the last semester of their senior year at Skidmore and maintain at least a 2.0 grade average in their concentration for the minor.

Notes:

• The English Department allows no more than 12 credit hours and no more than two 300-level courses earned through study abroad or other institutions to count toward the minor;
• 200-level courses in English are open to first-year students unless prerequisites or restrictions are stated in the description
