Certificates, Programs and Minors
Rationale. Employers recognize that the study of economics develops
the professional skills necessary for success including the analytical
skills needed for the complex tasks in today's highly technical work
environment. A 1995 survey, in ACJS Today, ranked economics as one
of the top three most desirable majors for law school admissions.
Graduate schools recognize that the study of economics develops the
analytical and research skills that prepare students for the rigors of
advanced education.

ENGLISH MINOR
Description. Students who have found their required English and
Literature courses exciting may continue their exploration of texts
(including films and other genres in popular culture) and develop
their voices in a variety of written forms in the English minor. The
minor offers students the opportunity to broaden their experience of
literary study, improve their critical thinking skills, and advance their
skills in analytical, expository and / or creative writing.
Rationale. The study of literature and the practice of expository and
creative writing strengthen important skills while engaging students
in significant historical, ethical and aesthetic debates. Students who
study literature learn to read critically, form interpretations, and make
arguments based on evidence. Students who study writing learn to
express themselves clearly, concisely and creatively while also
perfecting their editing and revision skills. Students who pursue the
minor in English will graduate with an increased command of
language and with incisive critical skills that will serve them well in
their chosen career or post-graduate work.
