Irish Studies (Minor)

The Minor in Irish Studies is designed for students majoring in a field other than English. The Concentration in Irish Studies requires the same set of courses and is awarded to students who are majoring in English. All English courses in the Concentration may also count toward the English Major. Successful completion of the Minor or Concentration is recorded on the student’s official university transcript. Non-matriculated students who complete the course sequence will be awarded a Certificate of Completion, issued by the Department of English.

The Minor/Concentration in Irish Studies is designed to provide students with the opportunity to engage in the interdisciplinary study of Irish and Irish-American culture, primarily through literature and history. Six courses are required for completion of the Minor/Concentration in Irish Studies. Course offerings cover major aspects of Irish culture from ancient times to the present.
