The English Minor at Regis College allows students in other majors to pursue their love of literature and to demonstrate important skills such as critical thinking, analysis, and writing to future employers.
Beginning with an introduction to literary studies, you will explore a wide range of literature. Courses complement a variety of majors — for example, students in psychology and nursing may find courses in the Medical Humanities beneficial to their studies.
Additionally, you will have the opportunity to study literature and writing abroad to widen your perspectives and global understanding.
