English
Advanced training in English language and literature is increasingly necessary for business and professional careers. Students who choose to develop their intellectual abilities in these areas may select two courses numbered 3000 or above from the offerings of the Department of English. To complete their minors, they enroll in an appropriate capstone course. All 4000-level offerings in the Department of English or an approved 3-credit Independent Studies course in English may serve as the capstone course.

Multilingual Translation
The Multilingual Translation Minor, open to all students who have successfully completed a 4000-level language course or have proficiency in a second language, offers an introduction to the discipline of translation. Students will learn how to use the fundamentals of Translation Studies to interpret the cultural, social, and political underpinnings of literary and artistic works produced in different geographical environments, with a particular attention to how questions of gender, poetics, ideology, class, and nation operate in translations. Students will also be exposed to the basics of translation praxis and will develop the interlingual translation skills needed to produce a wide variety of texts in translation.
To qualify for the minor, students must have successfully completed a 4000-level language course or have proficiency in a second language. To complete the minor, students must take (in any order):
