A is available from the English Department for NC State students, except for English majors in the Creative Writing concentration.
Admissions and Certification of Minor
Students can apply for admission to any university minor program in MyPack Portal. Admission will be based on聽the student鈥檚 academic record, and in most cases no longer requires departmental review. The minor must be completed no later than the semester in which the student expects to graduate from their degree program. Students can monitor their progress toward completing the minor by viewing their Minor Degree Audit online, anytime, in MyPack Portal.聽
Questions regarding unmet course requirements on your Minor Degree Audit (indicated by a red 鈥榅鈥�) should be directed to the Minor Coordinator.
