Degree candidates seeking certification of a minor field must complete the minor-program-form (PDF) and file it along with the Notice of Degree Candidacy.
A minor in English consists of 18 appropriate credits (exclusive of 50:989:101/102). At least 6 credits of the minor must be in courses at the 300 to 400 level; at least 9 credits of the minor must be Rutgers University–Camden courses.
English majors may earn certification for a specific minor field within the English Department by completing 18 credits in that field. As many as 6 credits may be counted toward both an English major and one specific English minor—in which case only 12 additional credits must be earned—but a second specific minor requires at least 18 new credits.
