The Minor in Writing provides a foundation of advanced writing knowledge and practice while also allowing a focus on areas of writing you find most interesting, enjoyable, or relevant to your goals.
The Minor in Writing can help you:
- develop rhetorical awareness and knowledge that will help you write and communicate successfully in new contexts
- acquire writing habits and practices that will help you in college classes as well as in professional, civic, and personal life
- write and think creatively and critically in a variety of genres
- develop a portfolio of work that helps demonstrate your skill and experience as a writer
- engage with ideas and modes of expression you care about and find rewarding
Choose from a selection of core courses, and then customize your experience in the minor by selecting one course from the Literacies and Theories category and three courses (or nine credits) from an extensive list of Writing Practices.
All prospective students should meet with an advisor from the College as soon as possible.
