Arts Academic Plans

Students enrolled in any degree program may pursue a minor designation in English.

The English Minor requires successful completion of a minimum of four academic course units (eight courses) in English with a minimum cumulative minor average of 65%, including:

• no more than two ENGL courses at the 100-level 
• Advanced Introduction to Literature: two of ENGL 200A, ENGL 200B, ENGL 200C
• Criticism: ENGL 251
• three additional ENGL courses, one of which must be at the 300-level or above 

Notes

1. Courses transferred from other institutions without a specific course designation (e.g., ENGL 1XX) may only be counted towards the English electives.
2. A maximum of two of the following courses may be used to fulfil English Minor requirements: ENGL 210E, ENGL 210F, ENGL 210G, ENGL 210H, ENGL 210I/LS 291, ENGL 309E/SPCOM 323. 
3. Although the Department of English Language and Literature provides advisors to help students choose their academic plans, arrange their courses, and conform with the University of Waterloo, Faculty of Arts, and Department regulations, students are urged to study the Undergraduate Calendar very carefully because they are themselves responsible for failure to abide by these regulations.
