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.
