Literature, Writing and Film ,Minor
Literature, writing and film offers students the opportunity to develop their skills in professional, academic and imaginative writing, as well as their interpretation of literary and nonliterary texts and critical thinking. The program focuses on effective writing, critical thinking, and sophisticated reading of texts; encourages the study of texts in their cultural context; and stresses the role of media and technology in the reading process.
The philosophy of the program is that students should be offered an experience that integrates formal course work, independent and varied research, internships and service opportunities. The program goal is to prepare independent and effective scholars and professionals who can transition seamlessly into careers in writing and teaching and who are well prepared for graduate or further professional study. Three tracks are available:
- English for secondary teachers.
- Literature and film.
- Writing.
- College/school:
College of Integrative Sciences and Arts
Students in most majors may pursue one or more minors and, upon successful completion of the prescribed coursework, have that accomplishment officially recognized on the ASU transcript at graduation if: 1) the college and/or department of the minor officially certifies, through established verification procedures, that all requirements for the minor have been met, and 2) the college (and, in certain colleges, the department) of the student's major allows the official recognition of the minor.
A student wishing to pursue a specific minor should consult with an academic success specialist in the unit offering that minor to ensure that an appropriate set of courses is taken. The student should also consult with an academic success specialist in the college or department of his or her major to make sure the college or department of the major allows the recognition of the minor.
Note: Certain major and minor combinations may be deemed inappropriate either by the college or department of the major or minor. Inappropriate combinations include (but are not limited to) ones in which an excessive number of courses in the minor are simultaneously being used to fulfill requirements of the student's major.

Program term definitions
Accelerated programs allow students the opportunity to expedite the completion of their degree.
Accelerated master's
These programs allow students to accelerate their studies to earn a bachelor's plus a master's degree in as few as five years (for some programs).
Each program has requirements students must meet to be eligible for consideration. Students typically receive approval to pursue the accelerated master's during the junior year of their bachelor's degree program. Interested students can learn about eligibility requirements and how to apply.
Concurrent degrees allow students to pursue their own personal or professional interests, earn two distinct degrees and receive two diplomas. To add a concurrent degree to your existing degree, work with your academic advisor.
Joint programs, or jointly conferred degrees, are offered by more than one college and provide opportunities for students to take advantage of the academic strengths of two academic units. Upon graduation, students are awarded one degree and one diploma conferred by two colleges.
ASU adds new programs to Degree Search frequently. Come back often and look for the "New Programs" option.
ASU Online offers programs in an entirely online format with multiple enrollment sessions throughout the year. See https://asuonline.asu.edu/ for more information.
