Department Courses (7 units)

Double-counting note: Weinberg College prohibits double-counting a minor course toward some other major or minor, except where this is explicitly permitted in this catalog. Weinberg College does allow double-counting a minor course toward a general bachelor's degree requirement (i.e. degree requirements other than majors or minors). Other programs or schools may have their own restrictions that supersede this, so check the relevant parts of this catalog for possible limits. 

The English literature minor requirements are as follows.

• 2 200-level Historical Breadth courses
  • 1 emphasizing works written before 1830
  • 1 emphasizing works written after 1830
• 1 required seminar: ENGLISH 300-0 Seminar in Reading and Interpretation
• 4 additional English literature courses¹ at the 200- or 300-level which fulfill the following criteria:
  • no more than 1 at the 200-level
  • 2 courses emphasizing works written before 1830²
  • 2 courses emphasizing works written after 1830²

¹

1 300-level literature course from another department or program may be substituted for an English Department course, subject to approval by the director of undergraduate studies for English.

Pre- or post-1830 criteria associated with a course can vary with different class offerings; check quarterly English course listings.

Students who matriculated in Spring 2022 or earlier can choose to opt into the current requirements listed here or can choose to follow requirements as outlined in a Catalog edition corresponding to their prior quarters of enrollment. The Office of the Registrar maintains an archive of Catalog editions.
