English, Minor

The English minor at Saint Louis University is student-centered, with small, writing-intensive courses that emphasize discussion, close reading and critical thinking.

SLU's English minors take courses in traditional literary fields (including American, British and world literatures), as well as innovative and emergent areas of English studies (such as new media, rhetoric and creative writing). English minors develop imaginative engagements with different time periods and cultures and effective analytical thinking and writing skills throughout their coursework.

Students must complete a minimum total of 15 credits for the minor.

Continuation Standards

Students must complete all English courses with a grade of C or higher in order to count for English minor requirements and to continue in the minor.

Note: SLU-Madrid and SLU-St. Louis program requirements vary slightly by campus.

Students can complete all or part of the English minor at SLU-Madrid.
