The minor in Screenwriting is intended to guide students from the acquisition of foundational screenwriting skills through the completion of a full-length script for film or television. Fifteen of the credits are directly craft-oriented, teaching students what they need to know to translate their ideas into a format suitable for production; the other 9.0 credits are dedicated to background knowledge intended to inform creative thinking and develop a student's individual voice.
Film and Video majors should note that they will be taking half of the courses in the Screenwriting minor as part of their degree requirements, making this minor a relatively simple addition to their education.
