Literary and Cultural Studies Minor
Literary and cultural studies minors encounter and interpret a variety of texts representing a range of human experience and expression. Students engage in interdisciplinary conversations about complex social structures, individual decisions, and human delights and dilemmas, while gaining transferable skills in writing, critical thinking, and analysis. The minor is a strong complement to major programs leading to a variety of career paths, including medicine, law, human services, business, education, and communication.
