Children’s Literature Minor

(SIMS Code: 112136)

The minor in children’s literature allows students in a wide variety of fields to benefit from programming and curriculum offered by SDSU’s National Center for the Study of Children’s Literature. Courses in the literature of young childhood and adolescence benefit students preparing for careers in education, psychology, social work, medicine, or any other field serving children.

The children’s literature minor is not available to students majoring in English or comparative literature. Courses in the minor may not be counted toward the major, but may be used to satisfy preparation for the major and general education requirements, if applicable. A minimum of six upper division units must be completed in residence at San Diego State University.
