You can tailor your coursework to your specific goals and set yourself up for success in any career. Whether you're interested in creative writing, publishing, business, arts administration, writing for digital platforms, law, medicine, teaching, or any other field, an English minor helps you develop the skills you need:
- Strong reading, writing, and communication skills
- Critical thinking and interpretation, with an emphasis on solving problems
