English (Minor)

The study of literature deepens students’ understanding of the moral questions at the center of the human experience and of our shared humanity across cultures and time. Marymount’s English minor develops students’ range of experience and cultural understanding by examining texts that represent a variety of points of view and historical perspectives. It also provides students with valuable skills in writing, analysis, and critical thinking.

The English minor works especially well with majors in social sciences, computer science, biology, and more, signaling to future employers an ability to write, conduct context-specific research, think critically, and work collaboratively.
