Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: College of Arts, Languages & Letters

English offers a fifteen-credit minor for students who wish to emphasize a specific aspect of English studies without completing the actual major. Beyond the required ENG 320  course, the minor may focus on literary studies, creative writing, cultural studies, or rhetoric and composition.

One FW and one ENG 270–276 course are prerequisites for upper-division English courses. All UH Mānoa courses applied to the English minor will come from the Department of English or cross-listed courses. Appropriate upper division transfer credits may apply toward the minor. Minors must complete at least 6 of their 15 upper-division credit hours in English courses at UH Mānoa.

The minor consists of:


  • Credits: 3 — This course is foundational and should be taken in the student’s first or second semester of upper division English work
  • 300-level ENG elective Credits: 3
  • 400-level ENG elective Credits: 3
  • 300- or 400-level ENG elective Credits: 3
  • 300- or 400-level ENG elective Credits: 3
