Students in the BA program, who are registered in a major program, may complete at the same time a minor program in most Arts and Science subjects. A minor in English demonstrates advanced writing, reading, and critical thinking skills, and is a valuable credential for students in all TRU majors.
To complete a minor a student must include in the 120 credits required for the degree at least 30 credits and no more than 42 credits in a single subject or field of specialization other than that of the Major. At least eighteen of these credits must be in courses numbered 300 or above.
Prerequisites

- Six credits of second-year English courses:

- Three credits from the following list: 2040, 2120, 2140, 2150, 2160, 2170, 2180, 2190, 2200, 2210, 2240, 2250, 2260, 2270, 2400, 2410
Upper level requirements
- At least 18 credits of 3000 and 4000 level English courses.
