Irish Studies Minor
The Department of English offers an interdisciplinary minor in Irish Studies, which provides students access to instruction in Irish language, history, literature, and culture. This academic and artistic approach to Irish culture involves an interdisciplinary and inter-collegiate collaboration that brings together leading scholars in the humanities and the creative arts.
