Literature and History Minor Policy

The Literature and History (LAH) minor is meant to introduce students to what is involved in transforming past experience into words, novels, and historical texts and to ground students in the established practices of disciplines central to the humanities. Those enrolled in the minor will take part in an interdisciplinary curriculum situated at the intersection of literary art and historical thought, applying the tools and practices of the liberal arts tradition to sharpen their critical thinking and writing. Students will complete a total of 42 credits for the minor in LAH, including one core course and six electives.

Entrance requirements for the LAH minor are less restrictive than those for the concentration, with students only required to have an overall GPA of 3.0 (these may be waived by the LAH coordinator in certain instances). The consent of the coordinator of the LAH concentration and their department chair is also requisite.

To obtain permission from the LAH coordinator, students will need to submit the following documents:

Application letter, or personal interview with LAH coordinator, requesting consideration for a minor;

copy of current transcript evidencing a GPA of 3.0 or higher.
