Writing Minor

    Consider the value of a minor in Writing. Increasingly, the ability to write effectively is an important and distinguishing part of all working environments. People with strong writing abilities are likely to advance faster and further in their careers than those without effective written communication skills. The Writing Minor, therefore, is a useful complement to virtually any major because a minor in Writing demonstrates to potential employers both an interest in writing and the ability to do it well. 

    The Writing Minor is designed to accommodate students with a wide variety of majors, career goals, and writing interests. Students have considerable flexibility in choosing the writing courses they take. Depending on their talents, interests, and professional goals, students may concentrate their course work in:

• Creative Writing
• Expository Writing
• Professional and Technical Writing

REQUIREMENTS FOR THE WRITING MINOR: 15 credit hours--five three-hour courses, all of which must be upper-division courses
