This program is designed for students who are interested in the study of English literature but who have elected to major in another area. The recommended series of courses allows students to become acquainted with some of the methods of literary study and with a number of the most important literary works.

The literature minor allows students to complement their area of major study with systematic experience in literature.

Students minoring in literature must complete a total of 15 hours (excluding ENGL 1010, 1020, 2030). None of the required 15 hours may be taken pass/fail. Only courses completed with a grade of C (2.0) or better may be counted toward the minor. A minimum of 9 upper-division hours of work in the minor must be taken with CU Denver English faculty. Courses in a minor cannot be counted toward the English major or English Writing major; consult an English advisor for substitutions.
