Other Information
No more than 1 course may overlap between a student’s major and minor. Students pursuing an English major with a writing concentration, a Writing minor, or the Public Communication major should be especially mindful of this rule. If pursuing an English major, ENGS courses used for the RDS minor are included in the 45-credit major rule.
