Interdisciplinary Clusters
<< Back to Majors and Minors
The department also encourages its majors to focus their interests and consider adding to their English major an interdisciplinary cluster of courses from several departments. Such an informal cluster would allow them to pursue a particular direction or interest area. Interdisciplinary minors, such as Black Studies and Women's Studies, are listed in the college catalog.
Class schedules and descriptions are available here.
