Graduate Minor

Graduate Minors in the School of Writing, Literature,
and Film are offered for both PhD students (who
must take 18 credits in our program) and MA students
(who must take 15 credits in our program). Students
who wish to minor in either Literature & Culture or
Rhetoric, Writing, & Culture make independent
arrangements for advising with the member of our
graduate faculty with whom they plan to work. That
person oversees their course selections and must sit
as a full voting member on their graduate committee.
