Department of Language and Literature
The literature minor

English Language and Literature minors must complete at least 21 hours within the program, with a grade of “C” or better, including the following:

›› LITR 100: Introduction to Literary Analysis (3)

›› one of the following courses: LITR 255, LITR 256, LITR 257, or LITR 258 (3)

Prerequisites

LITR 100 is the prerequisite for most 300-level courses.

Advanced courses in English Language and Literature

Where appropriate, prerequisites for 300-level LITR courses may be waived, with permission of instructor and departmental approval. Students seeking waiver of a prerequisite should consult their advisor for details. Waiver of a prerequisite (i.e. LITR 100) for any one 300-level course does not constitute a waiver of pre-requisites for any other course, or of any course requirement for the major or minor.

Majors- and minors-only course sections

Selected 200-level LITR courses will periodically be offered in a special format designed for English Language and Literature majors and minors (MMO format). Registration for these sections is restricted to include only majors and minors in English Language and Literature and, in some cases (to be indicated in the Semester Course Schedule), in appropriate cognate programs as approved by the department for that course (e.g., Gender Studies, Education, Communications, Film Studies).

It is strongly recommended that English Language and Literature majors and minors enroll for MMO sections whenever these are available. In semesters where a particular course is offered in both MMO and regular formats, English Language and Literature majors and minors (and other eligible students, as above) will not be eligible to enroll in the non-MMO section.
