When students pick a Minor in Humanistic Studies, they also select a specialization that can help them define the shape of their self-selected Minors coursework.
Students specializing in Literary Studies for their Minor can analyze and interpret texts from any genre (this can include poetry, novels, epics, folktale, drama, and mixed-genre works), era, or region of the world. The thesis project can allow for a deep engagement with a particular literary work or can analyze a theme spanning several different texts.
