How To Get A Minor in English

To graduate from the University with an English minor, all students must declare English as their major and complete 6 English courses with a grade of a C or better in the distribution noted below.  When a student has completed all minor requirements or is a graduating senior in the process of completing them, they come to the English office located at 252 Bartlett Hall, complete the minor declaration form and drop the English major at that time. The registrar's office will process both forms.

Please contact Celeste at the English undergraduate office or via email at cstuart@english.umass.edu if you have any questions about the minor requirements.
