A minor in English not only enriches students’ appreciation of literature and engages them in cultural debate but also helps develop crucial skills in analytical thinking and clear, persuasive expression both in speech and in writing. An English minor is an ideal gateway for careers that emphasize communication and critical thinking, including law, business, journalism, public service, and education.

Full degree requirements are available in the Undergraduate Catalog, which is available through UM Online Services.

Financial Aid

  • The Department of English has a variety of funds that support prizes, awards, and scholarships for undergraduate students. Visit the College of Liberal Arts website for more information.
