Minor in English
Description
The Minor in English offers students a flexible framework to pursue their interests in literature, narrative, film, and storytelling. Students can choose from a wide range of 2000 to 4000-level courses to build their own pathway through the program, while developing the critical thinking, analytical, and communication skills needed in the world today. While Majors in History, Creative Writing, Psychology, Criminology, Journalism, or Philosophy will find a Minor in English especially complements their degree programs, a Minor in English is complementary to many different degrees in faculties across the institution. The skills and awareness students foster in English courses will benefit them in virtually all their studies, rounding out students’ undergraduate portfolios in ways that appeal to future employers and post-graduate programs. Furthermore, students will benefit from our faculty’s expertise and commitment to teaching excellence, as well as from the small class sizes that characterize undergraduate study at KPU. This minor may be applied towards any KPU bachelor's degree.
