The Professional Writing, Literacies, and Rhetoric (PWLR) Minor is a 25-credit minor that is open to students in any major. The PWLR Minor includes writing courses that focus on deepening and extending your rhetorical flexibility. These courses are designed to help you develop your capacity to invent, make, and examine texts, both print and digital, for wildly differing audiences, situations, and contexts, both inside and outside of the university. Do check the English Department web page for specific PWLR course offerings every quarter as topics frequently change, and different instructors teach the same course in different ways.
Courses taken for credit in minor programs in the English Department may not be counted toward English majors.
